Re: Chopper down in KNP
It was as emotionally charged as any military funeral can be. It retract my last remark regarding Special Forces, they today again made me proud to have been a member of the unit.
There were top brass present from the military and it was also good to see Oom Louis Olivier representing SANParks. He was at a loss for words when I tried to speak to him, all he could say was "Dis so onnodig". (It's so unnecessary)
RIP Jakes and remember, "Fear naught but God!"

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

I managed to sneak a few photos with my phone before I got caught out.

Re: Chopper down in KNP
This sends shivers down my spine...
But still, thanks for sharing, Sprocky and I hope your friend will rest in peace.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
