Another wine story. On a fishing trip to Meob Bay , the polished and overhauled DC 3 overheated - so we were offloaded at Luderitz airport . they flew back to Windhoek with the lighter DC3  , to fetch a replacement plane . So , Mr Kanniworrie Groenewald teamed up with Mr Pillay . " O .. You have the same name as my wine , namely Paarl Perle. . Here have a sip young man  . Of course the wine was lukewarm by that time .  Eventually the replacement plane arrived. We loaded the fishing rods , the beer etc - and also mr Pillay , because he was unable to get on the plane by himself  . Mr Pillay did not catch one fish during the weekend  - because .. the moment he awoke . Kannie offerded him some of Bom 's coffee. 50 / 50 brandy and strong coffee , to cure his babbalas .  attaced photos. 1 Kannie in black on Luderitz airport with his Paarl Perle bottle 
and 2 nd the plane that fetched us on Luderitz. Unfortunately I did not take a pic of the shiny silver + white DC 3

Meob Bay,..one can write a thrilling book about the fishing adventures we had to cross the Namib early on without gps and all that new technology.I can remember,on one such trip and a very rare one with my dad,we sort of a got a bit lost, he just climbed the highest dune he could find and voila,we were on our way.Another trip they flew in with a the dc 3 i think but upon the day they were due to take off the one prop did not want to start,needless to say these manne of Oranjemund  angling club wound a rope around the prop and started it like a lawnmower ... took quite a few guys to do the pulling ,but they got it started and took off.In all those years from the early 70's up to now not one fatality were recorded, in those trips,very amazing indeed.....big thumbs up to the club with their tag and release effort,just a pity some fishing official from up north buggered it all up......

I was hoping that some one will be able to tell me why there are no markings on the plane - The DC3 that took us from Luderitz to Meob after the scheduled plane with all the necessary markings gave problems
