My flight attendent was born here and lived there until age 12. Did not wear a pair of shoes until she returned to CONUS. Closest store was a days drive in a Land Rover and she did school over an old Hallicrafters short wave radio.
She loved it but then this was 45 years ago. Mugabe and his henchmen have done a wonderful job of ruining the country.
Kurt, a friend of mine is a South African gent who flew Helos back during this time. He is also the webmaster and administrator of a couple of the forums you are talking about. Very good website and interesting posts there. You may know him as "Gunner" on several of the site's.
