-Tragically, didn't the SAAF HS 125 fleet fly in to Table Mountain in similar circum stances many years ago? Very sad day though.

-So terribly sad, met Frans Dely and his daughter out in Al Ain a few years ago, nice guy and a great Photographer. Dennis Spence was also with us on that trip. As always thoughts are with the families of those involved.

It is worse when two go together.
I know about tight small communities and how it hits when someone is lost tragically, the pain is indescribable.
Ralph - my thoughts are with you all.

I heard on the news that two Piaggio 166 "Albatross" went missing last night on a flight from an airshow in the Lowveld to Johannesburg. There are possibly 14 people on board between the two of them. They should have arrived in Johannesburg last night. The planes were ex SAAF sold to the public when they revised their fleet in the 1990s. Keep you posted, just hope that there is a positive outcome especially that there are kids amongst the passengers. There is poor weather in the interior of S.A. at the moment.
