Hi

I know Roux had sold Execujet. You imply that he has also sold Lanseria. If so, any indication of price? Execujet price?

Dont know who was flying it, but I can confirm one Wilga (black with yellow) is 'parked' at brakkies.
Apparently ground looped her... - one wheel parallel to ground, prop strike, and wing tip damage.

Photos on request.

The aircraft has been written off and sold to someone in Windhoek.
It is currently being dismantled for road trip there.
