I believe the Captain was ex-SAA instructor Willie Meyer and the co-pilot was Ian Noakes.
I was with Ian at Hatfield Poly,when he was Chairman of the Gliding Club and we bumped into each other again as Aeronautical Engineers with Atlas Aircraft, Jan Smuts Airport a few years later.I lost touch with Ian when I left South Africa in 1984,so i was delighted to hear recently that he took up flying on a full time basis and was enjoying life flying an HS748
He was a true aviator and a brilliant friend,it was a privilege to have known him, a very sad loss, as indeed as was Hansie and Willie
God Rest their Souls
