Cape Town PPRuNE Bash
Come on boys and gals ... the thread was lost somewhere in a Huey one ..
What date / time / where etc .. ??? Landed this morning and I am still pi55ed from 3 days in London. If I make my medical tomorrow - I am ready to throw down a few more on oom Piet, the Unamsil chopper and Sej's speedy recovery ! PS: Who left the &^%$ fridge open here in the Cape ? :} |
Welcome back Gunss
Hope you are in town for a while - Bert and I are going to be down there towards end of July..! He needs that long to make sure the Proheps kick in nicely before you feed him too much Tassies..! :E Let us know what the plans are - if we need to bring it forward or set dates.. :ok: Deanw..? Cheers R |
Good morning Rhodie,
Great stuff man. I still only have the two commitments on the Saturdays : 24 th (and Sunday 25th) and then Sat 31 July is out for me. During the week - Fri or Sunday is fine with me :D |
Welcome back, Gunss
I wouldn't be surprised if an ICEBERG floated into Falsebay. I'm sure I saw a couple of Polarbears running around this morning on my way to work. We have a proper chopper pub at the airport, so send me a PM and we can get together Cheers DD:ok: |
Hey Gunns, welcome back to town :ok:
Jus about any time is good for me <hic> :\ , except Fridays. Now we have just another excuse to get some more of that anti-icing fluid down the ol' throat :E |
Welcome home Gunnzzz!:D
We'll catch up a bit later on the phone. As previously discussed, Bert, Rhodie & the Yanks will be down here around July 25th. Bert & Rhodie will more than likely be staying with me, so we can schedule the "Dop & Chop at the WIN Helipad for any night convenient to all. As DeanW and others can't make it on a Friday night, I suggest we schedule it for a Wednesday night. Maybe July 28th would be good. Please advise, so that we can firm up on the arrangements. :ok: |
28 July sounds good to me :}
Thanks FM :ok: |
Tx for the Welcome guys ... but pleezzzee switch of the freezers now man ... asseblief :D
DD - tx I will come and gooi a dop there since they caught the N2 tramps throwing stones. Francois, 28 July is cute with me and my son. :ok: Dikvis, can you and sker organise yourselves down here ? Maybe with Morkel ? :eek: It will be great to meet up again ! :D hik .... :ok: |
July the 28th
Oh dear another party to put in the diary. Liver take note. mmmph Sounds like a good idea - will speak to the friendly sperm whale. Think Sker might be in London doing some training there, but will also put a note on the board at work - maybe another goldfish bowl operator or two will arrive. PILOTS BEWARE!! |
Francois - I am going to be in SA from the 17th of July and might still be around towards the time you have your get together. If I am will jump a flight down to Capetown and have a beer or three.

Hi guys, had a few calls regarding this party.
It is confirmed for Wednesday July 28 from 17.00 onwards at the WIN helipad in the V&A Waterfront. I will provide the braai tools, some booze & some food for the out of towners, but would appreciate everyone bringing a "dop & a chop" for themselves. Everyone is welcome, and if you want to bring your friends, do so. No problem. Its an open party and an invitation to anyone interested in aviation, and I'm sure a "coupla good wuns" (ales & stories) will be shared that night. I look forward to seeing you all. Try to make it Autorotate. We'll organise a bed for you in Cape Town. Don't forget to bring the Nikon..... Seeya all then!:ok: |
Finally someone makes a decision. July 28th....Im sure we can all make it. Rhodie may be staying with francois but I will have wifey with me so we will probably be at friends place....Anyway Rhodie :mad: Snores......
Notice I didnt put any nasties in here....... |
28th it is then....
Hey Bert - howda you know I snore (or not).. Your room in Zambia was across the corridor and I SWEAR I was awake on the flight back...! mind you - the girlfriend MAY have mentioned a small buzz-saw going at night.. :zzz: |
Gunzzz,
Welcome back! I am going to try my best for the 28th. Flying a four leg that day ending up in JNB but will try and get down. Might knock on your door for accomodation but will keep in touch! Will also speak to the man in the fish tank! Check the revvs!:ok: |
Rhodie........
Talked to the wifey and she has other plans. Will be getting to you this week so we can book down and back together. I guess we will have to take Francois up on his offer to be hanger Rats for a couple days....Will call him also. Mike will be there .... If anybody else is reading this I will bring my new Lightspeed ANR headset if anyone wants to bargin it away from me.Its the helicopter version. Nobody wanted the new SPH-4B Helmet or Nomex Flight suit so its in Vegas... |
Pity it's not the 29th I am back in CT from the Island at 1.30 pm on that day. Would be nice to see some old familiar faces again. Next time then.
|
Dikkes - will be great to see you.
If we have to change to 29 July to accomodate PP - no problems form my side as it will be great to see you after ?? 20 years ? :eek: You guys would not believe the weather in the Cape. Since last Saturday - NO WIND, RAIN, CLOUD !! Just damn great sunny days :D Goldfish might tell us what is on the way though :D |
Guys, If we need to re-schedule the date to accommodate others, lets do it, but please let me know in advance. As it stands, the bash is still scheduled for Wednesday July 28th from 17.00 onwards.
Gunzzz, if you would prefer July 29th, no problem for me, but then the others must just take note of it. Can we sort this out soonest please. Thanks.:ok: |
Thanks for the thought Gunzzz, don't change it on my account. Francois has made his arrangements for the 28th.
|
