Crete to Cape Town is Off the Ground!
Against all adversity and storm clouds gathering I hope to set off in the old D-Day Piper Cub with one, if not two of my children, flying the other 1943 airecraft originally built to last just six months of the war! . This leaves Genevieve to be cleared, to be away from school, to fly as passenger in G-IRC the only Chaffinch in the world.

About Maurice Kirk
Maurice was born 12th March1945, a war baby, in Taunton, Somerset, West of England, within a final family of four brothers and one sister while mother and father were working 24/7 to run a country veterinary practice. Country pursuits very much dominated his spare time from most sports with his passion still for hunting , shooting and fishing!
Maurice is currently trying to fly to South Africa in his WW2 Piper Cub,registration G-KURK. His other D-Day Cub, G-KERK, is destined, on skis, for a rather taller mountain after his promise to Sir Edmond, six years ago. Meanwhile, the task of obtaining justice in the UK courts, in order to practice veterinary surgery, is proving to be somewhat elusive.Authority has quite another agenda.
