A great account of two courageous men. I remember a fellow C130 colleague, Wg Cdr Mike Black, left the force in the '90s to go and fly with MAF. In those days it was the Missionary Aviation Fellowship as they supplied missionaries in Africa. I guess they have rebranded to escape what might be regarded as an awkward colonial label. Nothing to apologise about in my book; they did a great work which has left an enduring legacy of schools and hospitals conveying a message of love, peace and hope.
We could do with having the MAF in many other parts of the world today!
