Hi Everyone,
First time on the site and having been out of Africa since 2000 it was interesting to read about how aviation is developing (or not in some cases).
My reason for writing is to try and track down an aircraft I used to fly when operating for a SA company back in the late 90's. I was based in Sao Tome e Principe and used to fly a Reims Cessna F406 Caravan II registration S9-IHD and had great fun operating it to all sorts of interesting destinations such as Ghana, Gabon, Equitorial Guinea, Angola, Namibia, RSA and Mozambique.
During a lull in my current workload I decided to see if I could track down what had happened to the aircraft that I had so much fun (and one or two moments of sheer terror in),
My search led to the last point at which I know what the aircraft was doing and that was working for a UK company called Directflight registered as G-FLYN. It was then taken off the UK register when exported to Namibia and here the trail disappears. Is it one of the two Air Namibia a/c or has it moved on again? Anybody got any clues?
Hope somebody can help!
Thanks,danke, dankie
