Dear SWAT PILOTS

[Amick]

I see Peter Kelsey's (FerryAir) name has come up in this saga as well. Be warned, he is a master wind-up merchant who cuts and pastes other people's content and picks fights just for the fun of it. He has been banned repeatedly from the UK forums and this whole things smells a bit like him. If I'm wrong, sorry, but I doubt it.

Amick (Andrew)... thanks for that

As you see, the SAFFERS here don't take lightly to arrogance. We want like minded aviators sharing a passion and not a holier than thou approach.

Enough moderators here to edit

Manne, ek het nou net die hele ding gelees en die trane afgevee soos ek lag. Iewers sit n Kakie julle en opwen omdat hy nou nog die moer in is dat ons sy voorouers geleer het om in die hardloop te skuit terwyl hulle weghardloop.

Pasop dieselfde rooinekke wat vir ons Landrover gestuur het om ons terug te kry gaan julle kom uitsorteer....

Los die soutie nou uit en hy sal self verdwyn.

Aan die ander kant verskaf hierdie sepie my ure se genot. Amper soveel as wat kettievel my gaan verskaf as hy dink Phalaborwa se thermals is dieselfde vliegweer as daar in sy geweste....

You will hear no more about SA Aerial Support from me.
I will stick to Zimbabwe only, again this is my decision and not the SWAT standpoint

As the recent postings on this subject are telling us How wrong we have got your Rhino situation I am more than happy to step back from offering any assistance and I will also personally ensure I do not contribute any funding to helping eradicate your Rhino poaching issues.

As I am extending you the courtesy of accepting that you don't need our help, could you and all the so called Rhino Conservationists extend all us ' Little Islanders ' the courtesy of not asking us for ' Handouts ' to fund your corruption based environment.

I am quite keen to make a substantial investment in ridding South Africa of one creature that adorns your soil........ to do this it would mean putting a 'cap in Asterix's arse ' just to make sure I get his pea-brain

No wonder they are struggling to get anyone to take them seriously - they should have started out by spending some of that 'handout' money on a good public relations course!
This has got to be both the most hilarious and ridiculous thread I have ever read on Microlighters! Where are the moderators

Naaah, I say leave it going...it's good entertainment! I think it deserves to be printed in the next mag!

D20, couldnt agree more, i have edited this as more petrol on a fire doesnt help. The thread must continue if only to find a sensible way forward. With or without this I believe a Bateleur project has merit. They do great work.

Please do!! and don't forget to share my details with your Wildlife Crime Rhino and Elephants Programme Directors who work with law enforcers and rangers to tackle, poaching on the ground. What I am hoping for it for SWAT to hit the International media to maximise my PR campaign.

Many Thanks

Chaps, I would like to advise the forum although this has got out of hand and has some humour, Frank has been to south Africa, he has a good intention. I think his association with Mr Kelsey who has a reputation on the BMAA forum and Microlightforum UK has brought his project into disrepute. He has been banned for many reasons. I do believe Frank has some merit in his quest but as a result is misdirected. The way forward Frank and it seems the PR department has some work to do. Join up with the Bateleurs and stay here for a few months. They are pro active and many pilots on this forum are members. Let Mr Kelsey go play in Zimbabwe, elections are coming up. But lets not let someone who I think has good intentions waste energy. But what would be more effective Frank is to spend energy finding the buyers of the products and let the relevant authorities deal with this, lobby internationally for a ban on the sale and illegal import of these. Possibly find a substitute. The entire continent will throw a considerable amount of weight behind you. What do I know about the trade and probably the pilots trying to stop the poaching ?. There is a way forward and upsetting many years of history in South Africa is not going to help anybody. I am a South African and enjoy the people and its cultures...Lets go fly chaps and find me a single seater.

[WOBBLY]

Due to a restructure of resources I will go play in Zimbabwe with microlights and Frank will spend energy finding the buyers of the products he wants to promote.

Win Win all round

Gents.... I think this has gone on long enough and have LOCKED the thread.
