Hi Ned, firstly your work is getting better and better each year. And if you're in Southern Africa at any point, come and see us in Botswana.

The most memorable moment for me happened this year on an aerial filming job for a wildlife production. We had leased an aircraft for the job and the dual pedals on the co-pilots side could not be locked in place. Thankfully I was flying with a very experienced director in the co-pilot seat and they were well aware of the safety aspect. Then on the second day of shooting, in an OGE hover at 7000ft, the director went to reposition themselves in their seat and in doing so, their right foot slipped forward and hit full right pedal. Thankfully we recovered it quickly. And then the bad language began............ It only took about 6 hours for the heart rate to return to normal! Lesson learned.
