London to Cape Town, and back...
Hi all,

In case anyone is interested, here is the photo-blog of our trip to CT and back.

Fly safe, have fun, Sam.

Earth bracket on alternator - so very 'small', but if/when it is not connected (broken) that's alt failure - so not ideal.

Got it fixed though!

Avgas, it's 85% of the planning, at least

Greetings from Juba, Sam.

Shame - just nursing a chilled Tusker watching a Kenyan sunset!
