Indeed..........well said. Trust Maurice's health problems will be soon sorted and G-KURK restored to airworthy condition so they can both make it safely to Cape Town. Thank you to all the folk who have help Maurice in one way or another.... Good on you !!!
If some loon was trying to drive his battered 1943 car from the UK to Cape Town and had a puncture and broke his suspension, and crunched his drive shaft (propeller) ...twice....and also found himself with no paperwork, in darkest Africa, who would suggest calling out the FCO, the Embassy, the RAF, the local S @R twice, or anyone else?
No one would give a toss.
Yes, yes there would be folk who would "give a toss". Shows someone is out there, just meeting a challenge.......
