WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Johannesburg – A Nationwide aircraft – flying from Livingstone in Zambia to Johannesburg – was forced to turn back after a few minutes into the flight, due to a mechanical fault, the airline said on Wednesday.

Nationwide Corporate Quality director Rodger Whittle said flight 203 left Livingstone Airport at 13:15 on Tuesday.

It had to ‘turn back because hydraulic fluid was leaking from a faulty pipe.The leak was noticed early into the flight, it turned back and had a safe landing.

“There was a five-hour delay though because we had to get the hydraulic fluid FROM ZIMBABWE,” Whittle said.

The same plane then was ‘repaired and it departed with 93 passengers to South Africa on Tuesday evening. ‘

On November 30, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) grounded Nationwide when it suspended its approval of the airline’s aircraft maintenance organisation and suspended the certificates of airworthiness of Nationwide’s fleet of aircraft.

A week later, the SACAA reinstated Nationwide’s certification.
