A couple for your list Peej...
"Bluefingers" used to post pretty regularly, I think she is in Thailand now, haven't heard from her for a while, hope she's okay.

"Scratch" is still around, as is "Meatmissile", I suspect "Lostone" might be from your part of the world too. "Taz" is here, and I think "Crazymel" too. "Skystorm" is from Namibia, does that count?

Sorry if I've mixed up some nationalities.

I'm sat here in Scotland wearing a Springboks shirt, does that count?B|

Depends, if we put a nice piece of juicy Biltong in front of you, would you eat it?



I'd be tempted, but no! I've been vegetarian for the past 10 years! :)

Good on you! I made two years as a vege and it was the craving for Biltong that eventually pulled me back to the dark side.

You are welcome Peej, I forgot "Helicam", and I checked Bluefingers' logon details, she was still kicking on the 3rd of this month, so all is well with wee Kerry.:)

It's a running joke among our friends that the Africans are taking over Florida skydiving! Just quickly, off the top of my head you've got:

proswooper AKA Paul Rossouw (Zhills coach, etc)
Sally Hathaway (Synchronicity, owner of Paragone Rigging @ Zhills)
Bushman (Aerodyne)
Solly Williams (Majik, Skydive Deland)
Gary Smith (Majik)
Kevin Shafer (PD)
Chromy (RW/Tunnel coach @ Deland)

and there are a lot more hanging about at just these two dzs. I've also got a Namibian squatting in my guest room for 3 weeks during the Zhills Easter boogie!

Slowly but surely, I'm learning how to say some horrible things in Afrikaans. Nice, eh?

I was born in SA and moved away when I was 2, so not sure if that counts either. I do have a nice green unused South African passport though.

I still crave biltong and fortunately can buy it in London.

Ah yes, the SA guys taking over Florida,

We managed tog et away with a 6 month reserve pack job (As is rule in SA) because of the SA guys there.
CI at Deland is South African.

Played with Chromy in the tunnel too!! Man need to get away from the carrot sticks.

I suppose they all miss the fruit and veggies from here, as well as the Marie's, Mrs Balls and Biltong.

If you desperately need, we can send a shipment over!

I think true friendship is under-rated
