Maurice now has G-KURK inside Lokichogio Airport as he has agreed to a KCAA engineer overseeing the repairs to the Wings.
Maurice isn't as irresponsible as some would like to believe, his acceptance of KCAA Help immediately got G-KURK from outside the gates of Lokichogio to a nice spot on the apron.
I am sure the repair won't be to LAA standards but it will certainly make it 'marginally airworthy '

Why do you write 'marginally airworthy'? Surely it will be either airworthy or not airworthy? Go or no-go.

I sent a copy of your post to family and friends. So he will know in a day or so. The problem with that is he may not know how to answer the message or get in touch. So that others who are in direct daily contact are needed to help with AfricaEagle's message:-
Who can please advise Maurice that I have found a Cub wing available in Kenya.

l would have thought it would have been easier if MK had trucked the Cub to Wilson. Repairing her in such a remote area is going to be a lot harder and slower.
By the look of things, he's going to be flitting between Nairobi and Loki for a few weeks yet

A contact, based in Loki, has reported that MK crashed his Cub yesterday, 5 nm from the airfield. No further details.
Anyone in contact with his supporters?

According to a video now posted on FB;
Can I assume that the a few forum posters will now attempt to ascertain the exact circumstances of the accident, namely who his copilot was, the number of hours they both had, if they should be wearing RAF wings, and make comments on his flying ability....?
What I have heard there was an attempted to take off that was not successful.
He just missed the roof of a school
and came down in one piece.

This is going from very bad to much worse. We need a Ratty and Mole to grab Mr Toad and lock him away somewhere safe before this ends with an obituary in The Times..

A/c in Kenya, MK in the UK - see his supporters' page on Facebook where he's posting under the pseudonym of Sean Wilson. Some news about floats....and departing Kenya from a lake....
