Ja, it's been 6 weeks (feels like a lot longer), but now I have beautiful instruments and no more wobbly pedals. Was worth the effort. And thanks again for the flight-suit! Very nice in these temperatures!

You're pushing my Afrikaans beyond its limits, I'm afraid

Cheers,

V.

Welcome back in the AIR !!

V experienced an engine out en route to Yzerfontein on Saturday, and made a safe landing in a pasture just west of Darling Cellar. His two hangarmates landed to give support and recorded this ultra-low, ultra slow fly-by in the process of getting the trike to a spot where it could be conveniently de-rigged and trailered for return to Diemers for a decent check.

The support shown by the farmers and passersby were phenomenal and we really appreciate the offers of help - and the three ice-cold beers presented to us by a local farmer. We will return the hospitality with flips as much as these folk want as soon as we have V's Windlass airworthy again!!!

[Jabbanaught]

Well Done and glad you SAFE

[bluesmancoops]

well done guys - big Kudu's to the farmer as well

[bluesmancoops]

When are all the Diemers residents gonna have a braai???

[Barryathome]

The last few weeks you braai at Diemers by just being there!
We will give autumn a wee chance and then arrange to braai something edible.

[Tobie]

Well done all on Saturday. You put the braai thing well into perspective Barry till it's cooler.

[V]

Many thanks to Barry and Jaco again for all the assistance on Saturday! ZS-WHM will be back in the skies soon, it just depends how quick I can get the required parts. We can celebrate with an authentic Hungarian goulash party, if you like.

Cheers,

V.

[Barryathome]

No sweat V. It's what hangarmates do.
Well, it was a sweat, but that is what happens if you run a trike across a pasture and down a road on a hot summers day!!
Main objective is to get WHM back in the air so we can make it to FASD in one hop.
