Aborted night flight

We were keen for a flight to Pietermaritzburg as the sun was setting yesterday, hoping to have dinner in Pmb and fly back before lights off at Virginia Airport in Durban.

However without much rain the last number of weeks there has been a haze over Durban and looking west, the haze and cloud cover looked worse, so we ended up with a little jaunt to Cooper's Lighthouse and back and had the rare opportunity of flying back at 500 ft viewing the Bluff and city from the lower height - normally 1 500 ft for all incoming traffic. On that last point, it is quite weird to be in a metric country but to use feet for altitude measurements in accordance with the international norm.
