Well, a lot has changed since I last blogged. Tensions in Juba had been rising and on Friday night 8th July fighting broke out in various parts of the city. On the afternoon of Saturday 9th July, by God's grace, there was a window of opportunity to get to the airport and I flew one of two MAF aircraft which evacuated all the MAF international staff families and children to Kenya, leaving only a handful of MAF staff in Juba. The remaining international staff members were successfully evacuated to Kenya the following Tuesday on another MAF flight.
We are now living temporarily in Kenya and I have been doing some flights for the MAF Kenya programme. Tomorrow we will travel to the UK for home assignment so there will be no flying blogs here for a while.
