Microlighters

Good morning all.

Yesterday afternoon my phone rang. "CALL" was displayed, and I am just one of those people who do not answer phone calls from pvt numbers, so I ignored it. I recieve on average at least 3-4 calls a day from those horrible sales people trying to either sell me cell contracts or insurance...not sure which I despise more....

Anyway...I was most surprised when I eventually listened to the message later.

(Translated from afrikaans)

" Afternoon Alan. Apparently you are the owner of a white airplane,Zed You Dee Bee Pee, which was flying very low over my farm in Cullinan yesterday morning. I would just like to ask you to please not do so in future as I have horses on the farm which bolt when you fly past. You can contact me on XXXXXX (Number spoken so fast I cannot decifer it).

Firstly... I must tell you that the said gent (no name on message) has clearly mis read the registration no on the plane as I do not own a white aircraft and I was certainly nowhere near Cullinan on Sat morning. DBP flew FABA to Delmas to FAKT and back with the rest of the Tailwinds. This was not me or our plane.

I can only assume that he traced my tel no though Avdex or buy some similar means? I have no way of phoning this guy back as his voicemail is not very distinct and he called me from a pvt no as mentioned. I really hope he phones again so I can at least clear my name!

So....if YOU were the white aircraft flying low over Cullinan area on Sat...please respect the man's wishes?

Hmmm did they find out who it was?

Only white aerie I know of is Noel's

I also flew to Delmas yesterday morning but I'm sure he would have pointed out "aerie with camo wing" lol

Eh Loco??? Your chommie's gonna bl%$ksem you!


No...hasnt called back yet....and I def dont think Noel is the guilty party. This was prob a fixed wing (no on the side of aircraft) Who knows... mystery to me.... (Not a witchunt anyway)

Maybe he has googled images ZU DBP and seen that it is rather "unwhite"

The ZS version is a C182 (white) but seems to operate in the Cape somewhere.... dink die ou het n bietjie te veel Brandewyn in die gat af gegooi vrydag aand.

Now I know why some okes like JB keep their GPS tracklogs.....

Oops really didn't mean it like that

Oy! Who's chucking me under the bus like that? (Just kidding Loco )
Well, my aerie was grounded on Saturday due to comms problems, so it couldn't have been me
My reg is too different from Bundy's to be mis-read either. Maybe a ZS fixed wing? What does Avdex say?
