BAS has recently returned from a research trip in Southern Africa. Research trips are usually eventful outings in the wild and this one didn't buck the trend, however, one part of the adventure BAS would never want to repeat! Coming into land at a Game Reserve the seven seater single prop aircraft failed to make the landing and crashed a few hundred metres beyond the landing strip right in the middle of the big five Game Reserve! Thankfully, BAS and his friends Paul and Markus, together with the pilot, managed to escape without serious injury from what could so easily have been a fatal incident.
