The hunter
By André du Plessis

In October 1975 a hunter landed at FAF2 Kariba after running short of fuel. We removed it's armament to lighten the aircraft and refuelled it by hand pump from drums making sure it had the absolute minimum fuel to see it back to it's base at Gwelo. Due to the high temperature and altitude of Kariba the jet had to use every metre of the runway and with full thrust just managed to clear the trees to the east of the airfield.
