Steady on posters. Obviously there are differing perspectives on Mr. Kirk's conduct as a pilot, rally participant and citizen. More discussion is not going to resolve that here. Let's contain discussion to the title of the thread, how's he getting on. People are welcomed to discuss Mr. Kirk's progress through Africa, and the adventure of it all, but the criticism of Mr. Kirk's history, or support for his perseverance as an aviation rebel, has little benefit at this point.
