Hi
I know Roux had sold Execujet. You imply that he has also sold Lanseria. If so, any indication of price? Execujet price?
:O
Damn - I had my eye on that airplane!!!! Just shows, one needs a little stick and rudder dash to drive real airplanes!!!!
Dont know who was flying it, but I can confirm one Wilga (black with yellow) is 'parked' at brakkies.
Apparently ground looped her... - one wheel parallel to ground, prop strike, and wing tip damage.
Photos on request.

Sluggy will know. Saw the A/C about a week ago :{
The aircraft has been written off and sold to someone in Windhoek.
It is currently being dismantled for road trip there.
