I have now updated the webpage http://www.zu-dve.com with pictures, the sorry story and a videoclip. Please have a look.

Yes, when we departed from Sutherland it was bloody cold. I had on - t-shirt, thermal vest, thin sweater, wooly sweater, flightsuit and my Jeep "canvas" jacket. Which meant for the leg from Sutherland to Porterville it was only on the descend that I could get to my camera in my flightsuit pocket for some pictures. But see the website.
