Angry ZS-OUT the ongoing saga

There is a court order in Chad regarding money owed to Thierry, there is a court order in SA ordering the return of the aircraft to the owner. The owner tried to get a ferry pilot to bribe Thierry's engineer to sneak the plane out of Chad for $20,000. The aircraft has no C of A. It has been damaged in a hard landing, and should not be flying. It seems both parties have some claims, but right now the machine is not airworthy- who are the poor buggers flying it?
Apparently Thierry arrived in SA to negotiate and the owner had him arrested for theft and jailed for a week. Eventually Thierry skipped bail and gapped it with his passport still held by the SAPS. A luta continua!
