Henry, you seem to be living each trikers dream. I certainly enjoy each minute of every video that you share with us. You should add the following to your business card - FFF - Frequently Found Flying!

The runway you took off in your video is the same one you have photo on your profile page ?
Is that a private road ? Or you just fly away from public road ?
HI Chris, I holiday in kysna every September and I have been looking for an airfield to come to. Looks like I've found it! I think I've seen you flying over the lagoon before, your wing looks familiar. We used to take our boat and watch the Choo Choo every day. I have fond memories of it! Ross
Hi Ross, great to hear from you. I am not quite sure which airfield and bridge you are referring to but I will try and get a Google Map picture for you to check out the spot.
You are correct, I fly from High Way Airfield approx. 20 km out of Knysna - about 20 minutes drive from my home, very convenient indeed. We do not have an airfield close to the railroad. The Outeniqua Choo Choo as it is known, rubs no more as the railroad was very badly washed away in various places about 2 years ago in very bad floods that we had. The worst damage is in the Sedgefield - Swartvlei area. Apparantly the cost to restore it will be in the 10's of millions, which means we dont expect to see ot run ever again.
We currently have 7 trikes and 8 fixed wing planes hangered on the airfield, owned by Whisper motorglider pilot Warren Rosewall.
The picture of Stanley Island which you you will see on my page is at Keurboomsriver just east of Plettenberg bay, wiyh the N2 bridge running past in the north.
Your welcome to give me a call that we can chat, my number is 082 451 2518
I'll try to send you some google pics or maps
Cheers
