The Huey has not been flying for a while, and following an investigation, it turns out that Gary van der Merwe experienced a catastrophic engine failure some time last week. Fortunately neither the Huey or anyone in it was affected by the engine failure.

Apparently they have installed a replacement engine, and by this morning they were getting everything together to test run the machine.

I really like the Huey, and its been a great success in Cape Town, but I'm beginning to have my doubts about the airworthiness of the machine.

Come Gary, give us the facts! Are you being up to no good?
