This Convair crashed at Wonderboom near Pretoria today and broke apart. It had been painted in the colour scheme of Martins Air Charter in preparation to position to the Aviodome in the Netherlands later this month. Sadly this will not now happen but mercifully it seems that it was non fatal though there were several injuries amongst those on board. Saw her in MASDC back in 1990 when she had been retired from the New York Air National Guard.

Cannot speak highly enough of all involved at the cardiac unit at Basingstoke Hospital. Am now the proud owner of a stent. It has cost me the 100 flypast, Bastille Day and Trumpish things but just glad still to be here with all the good folks on AFA! |
