Default RV-6 accident (South Africa)

Yesturday I saw a brief clip on the News in South Africa of an RV-6 flipped over. Tail number ZU-APF. A little research showed the Aircraft was the first RV built in SA by Noel Drew.

I don't know him, but lets all wish him a speedy recovery and air under his wings soon.


Later I found this:

Default Our thoughts and best wishes will be with Noel

Hoping that the back injury is minor and the RV will be replaced soon. South Africa must be a beautiful country to fly around in, especially around Pietermaritzburg. I did my dissertation field work there, before taking up flying, and I would love to return and fly over it now.
