Hi folks,
In that month, we took a short sector DUR to RCB with Comair. As the flight was rather turbulent with heavy weather closing in, I did not have time to note the aircraft (I don't collect registrations, just types) As I recall, it was about 10/12 seats with a single pilot and no other crew. Any ideas as to what the machine might have been?

From RCB we returned to JNB on an F27.
Thanks.

I am pretty sure they had some Cessna 404s then, mainly freight but one? pax (which might have had 10 seats). They also had EMB 110s (15/18 seats) in the 80s. Try posting on AVCOM.CO.ZA and you may well turn up the pilot!

Thank You. It certainly looks about right. By amazing chance, I went to school with the pilot but we lost touch! I boarded his plane 12 years after we left high school but I've not seen him again since.
