RON DE KOCK
Tony Viegas (RhAF) Writes:-
I have been advised by a colleague, that Ron de Kock passed away on Sunday 1st September,2013 after a long battle with illness.
I met Ron some months ago, and found out that he was a recipient of the ORAFs articles. Unfortunately, we were not able to spend much time discussing the \"good old days\".
I do not know whether he was a member of the RhAF. Perhaps you will be able to establish his affiliation.
[ I do not have a Ron de Kock on the ORAFs mailing nor on the nominal roll that I administer, can anyone identify the name. Eddy Norris ]

RHODESIAN GLIDING INCIDENT
Gomo (BSAP 6017) Hill Writes:-
I was member i/c Concession when the glider crashed at Howard. I had to fetch the body and do the sudden death docket. It could well have been me taking the photo or in the group of 3 just behind the landrover. The SDD will have long ago been destroyed. However Doug Seccomb of BSAP was also at the scene – cannot remember if he was Mazoe/Mtoroshanga/Umvukwes at the time. Doug was last heard of as the Methodist Minister at Newcastle some years ago. He was a renown chronicler and might have some info.

NIAGARA FALLS
From Tom Krummell
At first I thought the title was \"Niagara Falls View from a Mini Cooper.\" This is much more interesting. Amazing that NORAD didn\'t scramble for an unauthorized aircraft crossing over from American airspace into Canada and back.
