This'll be PK350, the F.22 rebuilt and operated for a few yeard by Jack Malloch, the then owner of Air Trans Africa (amongst other names!).
I was fortunate enough to get to know some of the prople who were involved in the project when I spent a few weeks out there recently.
Malloch was indeed, I understand, under pressure to up-operation and move to RSA, but any plans to do so were brought to an abrupt and tragic end.
On a personal note, the Zimbabwean's, both black and white are wonderful people, and really do not deserve the grief being caused by that tosser who is currently calling himself their leader. They have a wonderful resolve and a great sense of history and national pride. The recreational flying to be had out there is superb, and if anyone is looking to have great fun with aeroplanes then I can recommend the Mashonaland Flying Club at Charles Prince Airfield, Harare.
