Dear AAA Forum,
Out here in Zimbotho the weather is.. well... hot. Our chaps have been busy preparing airfields and landscaping the local scenery. Don't know why, sooner or later you're going to flatten everything with two-fifty pounders... But until then, I've posted some pics of life out here in the African colonies.
Morning sunshine at Pierre-Monde
Spitfires await this mornings detail at a civil airfield south of the Javango Swamp visible in the background.
Sight-seeing along the Zimbeze
A Short Sunderland cruises along the River Zimbeze near the seaplane base at Chadaweze. The Javango Swamp reaches into the distance. Crocodiles, snakes, mosquito's, and who knows what else...
On patrol in the Hinterland
A Westland Wapiti keeps a wary eye on tribesmen out in the dry Hinterland. Dodgy lot they are, always causing trouble, and you never know who's behind it.
Joining the circuit at Alembo
The wet season is always difficult and this Hurricane pilot has had enough. Time to put down and scrounge some char.
Low pass at Pieterville
The main airport at Zimbotho's capital is busy with aircraft travelling to and from India. Not sure the airport controller will appreciate the exuberance, so I'm off to Kunanda before I get reported. See you all later.
