Switzerland to Uganda an ambitious flight for a single engine type....Hans-Georg Obrecht tells us: 'The pilot of this a/c was travelling to South Africa to visit relatives. On his way back to Switzerland he had to abandon the a/c due to engine-problems at the run-up in Ndola. The insurer deemed it impossible to make a repair. The pilot flew home by airline. The a/c was later registered to African countries. The pilot told me this at my parents home ca 60 years ago.'
