Morning FF, No need for me to waste bandwidth on a pic -
Just have a look at yours and add the word Ditto underneath it and you would have a good idea of what is happening here in East London... :(

The Thrush[?] in the backgound reminds me of my time in Zululand years back - Was friendly with a group of blokes who did crop spraying / fire bombing - Nicest bunch of blokes one could have around but as naughty as hell - Must have something to do with being brilliant pilots but never flying higher than 1m above the crops and inhaling insectiside the entire day :D

Not entirely sure what the aircraft is called either.

But you're right. A great bunch of guys... Few people have the airmanship displayed by these guys, and I'm yet to see them fly over 300' 8)

My boy loves it when they come in, when they know he is watching, they always let diesel onto the exhaust to make some smoke. Its spectacluar to see the vortices twirling behind when they come over. A whole family of crop-sprayers but humble as can be :)

Good to see you too. Real pitty about the weather. I thought it was starting to look better, but now there are some heavy dark clouds moving in from the coast :cry: :cry:

Hope to see you tomorrow. Tell Bill I would love a flight in his lovely little yellow Vagebond ;)

Be lucky you guys have rain.

Our dams are down to 36% - not even allowed to wash the aeroplanes.

Lovely weather for flying, but like the water, shortage of Avgas so we are loosing all around. Woe is us.
