    Jy gil!! Hi there Leon and Wilco! I was on Ab Initio No 131 with Leon and Wilco in Jan 1980 (Wilco was in the other Flight Steward group with Gary Behrend – he lives in New Zealand, but I am in contact with him and will ask if he still has his Ab Initio pic.I also have photographs of the three Air Hostess Ab Initio groups (they were classified as the “German”/”French” and “Portuguese” girls). I will send these pics to you and also to Joppie, together with all the names! We were a fabulous group (both the girls and guys). I have ALL the names! Jy gillett!

      Hi Wilco! You were in the same group as Gary Behrend. He lives in New Zealand, but i will get hold of him and ask him to send me a copy of the photo (I am sure he still has it). Hope you are keeping well. I left SAA in 1999 and am teaching at Parktown Boys in Jo’burg. Keep well,Regards, Tutu (Andre de Wilzem)

    Does anyone have any pics of the January 1980 Ab Initio please? I seem to have lost mine in the many relocations I have made. Pretty please.
