I have two threads running and it is interesting to compare Kirk and his adventures to the synthetic flying of the "Aviatrix".
Given a choice of viewing Maurice would come out tops.
If I was a gambler I would put money on him making Cape Town.
As someone who hates litigation and social problems I have to confess he is not on my New Year wish list.
However the old boy deserves respect for his flying exploits in a Cub.
He has pushed that airframe way beyond its design.
It would not be my choice for long distance flying.
For that alone he deserves an award from both the Air League and the LAA.
