@LadyLepurrrrd Oh my word, Estelle. This is terrible news. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain you are feeling. I can remember when you got her. Remember all the joy that she brought you. She was loved. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time.

@riridiamond7912 I feel for you. It goes everywhere. Yes, the heat doesn't help. Good luck, I guess you won't be wearing black clothing for a while.

@thyphoidjack Phenomenal aircraft. The sound was awesome. I was fortunate enough to have flown in them on several occasions. I still remember as if yesterday. Sad that they no longer fly but you have to preserve them. The Harvard trainers also had a lovely and distinctive sound

@KingMntungwa You are not allowed any open alcohol containers in the front of a vehicle on a public road. They should be in the boot.

@diverene @Springboks Fantastic! Hangklip would have been an amazing atmosphere and the biltong finishes the night off perfectly.

@thyphoidjack 👊🏻 Memories! Thanks for that. 🍻 I don't think any of the current personnel would pass the recruitment. When I chat to youngsters nowadays about the criteria, they think I'm mad and talking shit. The crazy thing is we didn't have to train to meet the criteria. We were capable

@JustABlackPug That's terrible. When things change last minute it messes with your mindset. In your case it's worse, no turning back. Good luck and make the best of it. On the bright side, when you get back you can celebrate with the family and no Christmas crowds.
