Finally got in to proon, been a pain from here all day.

Westlakes, ta for the relay. (Bookface is useful for something :-) )

Helderberg has been on fire since about 8am; I am about 2 miles south.

Last I heard from across the valley, 10 houses burned down.

(Kudos to the flyers both fixed and fling who have been dipping and dropping water for the last 6 hours or so.)

To all those guys n gals that flew non-stop all day. Especially you water bombers, you in the Kamov, you others in the yellow painted choppers (I am no heli expert, only recognize counter-rotating rotors as being Russki). 5 I think in total.

You crop sprayers..... thanks.

The light a/c that circled overhead for 8 hours or so..... thanks.

Thanks to all of you. Somerset West was heading for a disaster.

Hopefully Stellenbosch will be equally fortunate.

And let's all hope SAPS catches the SOB that started this mess.

Just for interest sakes, Working on Fire used its resources there. The small aircraft is the 206 spotter plane that coordinates and directs the bombers and choppers. WOF used its Dromader bombers, Huey's (painted yellow) and the Kamov to fight the fire.
Hope its out this morning!

4 Droms..

I don't think they were Huey's, (prepared to be proven wrong...)....

Counter-rotating fling on top with no tail rotor... Kamov? Right?

Need to get govt to spend money on a CL-415 instead of huge bonuses and more luxury cars for the pilferati.

Fat chance....

Heads will roll.

All officialdom has its mouth firmly shut. Everyone has been blaming Erinvale Estate, seems that may no be true.

Oh, BTW, can anyone find an online English-Xhosa translation site? That works is you type in "corruption".

I can't.

Baaie Dankie

Best I've managed to find is "corruption = ANC"
Strangely, it also shows that answer for "ineptitude"....










coat, hat, bye
