Ground-based infrared photometry between 2.2 and 34 microns and IRAS observations of two OH/IR stars, OH 127.8 - 0.0 (GL 230) and OH 345.0 + 15.7 (GL 1822), are presented. From a study of the infrared flux distributions, several physical parameters of the sources and, in particular, their mass loss rates are derived. The results imply that the two stars are in a superwind phase at the tip of the asymptotic giant branch. Direct 34-micron observations, when compared with the OH flux densities, strongly reinforce the hypothesis that the 1612-MHz OH emission is radiatively pumped by 35-micron photons. Finally, the infrared observations of OH 127.8 - 0.0, obtained on a time scale of a few years, confirm the OH periodicity of 1994 d.
