Scottburgh? Unkomaas?
somewhere on KZN South coast near a river, judging by the brown water.

velocity,

All I can say is that looking at that photo, there must be a good pub close by. That has to be "Dutch courage" :lol:

A few months ago we spoke about doing a "South Africa from Microlights" coffee table book. Like everything else in life, it will not happne unless we actually do it. So here goes....I will take the lead on this and will need help from all concerned or interested.
You can start sending me ideas and suggestions and photos to my email address.

andre.booyzen@lonmin.com

High resolution photos please. Zip if possible.

For now I will collate and will ask Barry and a few others to help with selection, layout and publishing. Let's get behind this and see if we can at least get volume 1 out by the end of this year.

Big herd of nyathi and elephant carcass with tusks still in - must be somewhere very remote, I reckon somewhere in bots, up near the kwando river or in the delta somewhere :?: :?:
