Look forward to meeting you and Christa on your home turf.

Thanks for the good wishes. About to leave FAMO after a lekker visit to the Bouchers!

Andy, will certainly come past Light Flight on the way. Will give you an expected ETA closer to the time, otherwise we will pop down over the weekend. Its 23 minutes away from Howick. Would be nice to meet you also.

Awesome flying so far and LOTS of photo's coming.

Len is en route to Howick. Hope we see you over the weekend Len. There is always a fire going and lots of meat and rolls.

Please feel free for you and your lady to join us.

Ja.... and it blew your mind away!

Got to meet Len and his lovely wife at Howick on Sunday. Also had a ride in his awesome machine. It has really changed my perceptions of gyros.

Once again thank you Len and nice to have finally met you. Have a safe trip back to CPT.

[John Boucher]

Len's M-24 really changes one's perception of Gyros.

We look forward to the article in the next edition of Microflight Africa - maybe Christine can get pencil sharpened and write us a story from the pax point of view and experience!

Len en Christine

Gaaf gewees om julle te ontmoet, sien julle een van die dae in die KAAP.

Geniet julle vlug verder.

Weidie en Christa

Len and Christine have landed at Beaufort West. He says that the wind is getting ugly and he is thinking of sitting it out until tomorrow.

[John Boucher]

Just spoke to him... checked the weather... wind klapping 54km/h...

Beaufort West is notorious for recording some of the highest wind speeds in South Africa.... in the region of 260km/h

Sit oit out, have a dop, wait for the SAAF boys tonight.... have another dop & tjop... chill... fly early tomorrow morning sir!

[Gyronaut]

Yep, no fun getting klapped (even in a Gyro it was getting too rough)

The cavalry just arrived, 2 x Rooivalk Attack Helicopters! Connection too slow to post pics but will do so in due course.

Looking forward to a relaxing evening at the Karoo Gateway Lodge with good company (Cx and the heli pilots of course).

Will check the weather tomorrow and if its ok, we go, if its not, we stay right here.

Sounds as if the red ones came straight in to land ... the wind was pumping seriously with no intention of abating till later this evening!

@5pm it was still pushing 43km/h
