Saturday outride with some adventure

Post by dual »

We in South Africa have the last airworthy Shackleton MK3, although grounded, they have an engine run every last Saturday of the month at AFB Ysterplaat
Staying quite a distance from Cape Town it is always a worthy trip to do
Went past the Theewaterskloofdam wich is at 11 % water level at this stage, we have a serious drought on hand in the Western Cape

The clouds build up nicely, but not enough rain at this stage

Image

Image

Image

Then, to the main business of the day, the Shackleton

Getting everything ready

Image

Power source for electrics

Image

Not too many people

Image

Startup with Table Mountain in the distance

Image

Full reffs

Image

Image

Image

Quite an event if you're interested in it

Back home, but why not take a detour, the old Houwhoek pass, quite a favourite ride and close to home

Cool. Do you see any big game out there in the sticks, or has it all been displaced / eaten these days?

They used to still fly Lightnings in SA but I believe they've stopped, I have a share in this one but of course they haven't flown for years in the UK.
