I am unsure if its my duties to log this post but i am totally devastated by the sad news that our really good mate "Big Al" Alan Mackenzie was shot last night in Cape Town.

He according to reports is doing OK but lets all pray for him so that we can hear "Charlie Romeo Papa" back on the air waves again.

Its on the seven oclock news.

Paul, Thanx for the message. I was just listening on the radio and wondering whether it is old Nemo (AlanMack).

Hope the recovery is quick and that everything goes well.

My family is shocked about the news. We pray that Alan recover fully and quickly. If anyone knows Alan's family, please direct them to microlighters.co.za for the messages. Please let me know how I can help.

I quote his SMS "A Note to friends. Alan was shot (7 times) last night for reasons still to emerge. His condition is serious but stable. I chatted to him in hospital for about 20 mins today ( he hen needed to sleep). He is weak and hooked up to tubes, but is coherent. I believe he will make a full recovery but the next 48 hours are critical. Please feek free to phone me for updates. I will post on SAmicro as soon as I have emailaccess." unquote.

For those who odnt knoe Nem or Big Al he is (was) last years editor of Micolighters magazine and a fluent xHosa speaker. He is seconded to the Government from Business against crime. A real Gentleman and a avid aviator. aka Nemo..another story !

Phew – get well soon Alan Mack aka Nemo da “Big Guy”.

I won’t say all here, but I “thinks” the attackers “hit” the wrong guy – ‘coz this man has huge clout in terms of the current Justice System.

Go & get ‘em Nemo – can’t feel sorry for them when you do

Time for some “pay-dirt” as in "Feel this you bastard". "4 (or 7) Holes in me - now 4 (or 7) holes in your ... ".

I initially read the article and thought hey I know a Alan Mac, didn't know it was the same guy!!

Sorry Alan and family, I pray for a speedy recovery!

Shocking news Alan, you're in our thoughts and prayers for a full and speedy recovery, here's hoping you'll soon be your jolly old self again and streaking through the sky, Nemo.

Speedy recovery Al, and get well soon.

Shocked to hear about Alan - thank God he survived and we wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him in the sky again soon.

Dear Mr Mbeki, you are 100% correct. Here is just another perfect example that RSA do not have a crime problem

Unbelievable! This cr@p has to stop!
