I wonder if Roger is aware that by going into partnership with Flywell, he's working with a rather iffy character by the name of Andrew Smith - who is currently being sought by Joseph Kabila for ripping off his old man (allegedly in conjunction with Leo Mugabe) to the tune of quite a few million dollars? This was after he had supplied the DRC (via Harare) with numerous shipments of arms, many flown from Eastern Europe on aircraft (mainly IL76s) belonging to former KGB Major and close associate of Osama Bin Laden, Victor Butt.

Butt (a former long term resident of the Sandton Intercontinental, who allegedly still owns property in Sandton and Morningside) previously traded as AirPass on a Swazi AOC out of Pietersburg supplying UNITA (amongst others) before being closed down when things got a bit too blatant. AirPass was closely linked with Norse Air Charter.
