Just had a telephone call from an old friend of mine to tell me of the death of CT and his friend. My caller, CT and I all used to work together at Bop Air.(There's a clue as to the identity of the fabulous fleet feline).
I wonder whether the pile of rubble was actually that
mine dump on the Rwy 36 take off path. It claimed the life of a very good friend of mine some years ago. (LB or LF, as she used to be).
It made night circuits off 36 at FAGM a real nightmare. We knew that it was curtains if we had an EFTO. The only possible place to land would have been Germiston Race Course. I don't know if that's even still there. But you couldn't see it at night anyway.
That's more or less all, bye the bye, except that, in any event, that dump should have been rmoved years ago.
Great sympathy to friends and families of both aviators.
