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.

[I find this funny. Here you have two of these silly whites who are sucking up to the blacks (or are idiotic to actually believe that we achieved something in the last Ten Years. They celebrated by flying around the world in microlights… Somehow, this is almost poetic… they were refused landing and one of them ended up dying in a lake in Communist China. So… Ten Years After Apartheid… one of them is DEAD!! How fitting. One less white fool. Jan]

Beijing – The body of a South African on a round-the-world trip to mark 10 years of democracy in South Africa was pulled from a lake in central China on Friday after his plane crashed, said officials and state media.

The pilot, Alan Honeyborne of Port Elizabeth, was accompanied by another flyer, Ricky de Agrela of Cape Town, in a separate microlight,

He ditched in Lake Dongting in Hunan province after being refused permission to land at Changsha Airport in the province’s capital because of bad weather, said an aviation official.

The state Xinhua news agency cited airport authorities as saying the pilot was one of two South Africans flying two light planes on a global charity mission “to mark the 10th anniversary of South Africa’s independence”.

“The body was discovered at 18:30 by patrol crafts in the lake areas close to the city of Miluo in Hunan,” it said.

‘Today was one of our worst days’

The body pulled from the lake was about 1.7m tall and dressed in a blue flight suit and black shoes, Xinhua said.

“The aircraft should have landed at Changsha, but the weather was too bad and he continued on his route to Wuhan,” said aviation official Huang Suihua earlier on Friday.

Xinhua did not identify the South African, but a message on an internet site about the two-man world tour said Honeyborne had gone missing at Changsa.

“Today was one of our worst days. Alan has gone down near a town called Changsha.

“We got into difficult weather and something went wrong. What, we don’t know yet,” said the message posted by Honeyborne’s team-mate Ricky de Agrela on the www.safreedomflight.com site.

Crossing the globe by microlight

“The Chinese search and rescue and airforce are out there right now looking for him,” he said.

Xinhua said nearly 1 000 rescuers were marshalled to hunt for the pilot’s aircraft.

The South Africans left Cape Town on December 16 on a mission to cross the globe by microlight to mark 10 years since the end of white-minority rule.

In a message on their website dated May 25, they said they had just crossed into southern China from Vietnam. They were headed across China to Russia.
