Another Missed Flight
Missed flight to Melbourne (becoming a bit of a habit!). After crossing half the country on foot these last few days had to walk to board plane about 14 miles away from departure lounge! Around midnight I collapsed on my ankle; almost cried in pain, there was not a sole in sight to help. My arthritic pills have had no effect. Delays now putting clearances through Indochina and Malaya in jeopody ....must test fly fuel systems, transponder and radio. Darwin arrival date - Flight Q 0025 on 24th from Melbourne.
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.
