For those of you who may not know, we are planning a wine auction at Gariep in aid of an injured fellow gyro-pilot who is recuperating in hospital after suffering severe burns in an accident.

The cape wine farming gyro pilots have donated some spectacular wines which will be auctioned on Saturday night.

Vanoggend my trip se syfers uitgewerk. Die Raf het hom baie mooi gedra en dit lyk so. alldays Gariep. (646 mi) 8.5 ure se vlieg. 195lt petrol gebruik, so dit gee my n brandstof verbruik van 22.9 lt/h en 76m/ph grondspoed oor die hele trip.
