Davie H, going with www.wildhorizon.co.za, others off here have been with him ,so well recomended. Get a quote for a cull hunt and mention John F from Norfolk, he hunts in a huge area, some of which is VERY remote and will tailor a trip to what you want to do, hunt trophies or cull animals, or fish as well. deerwarden. p.s. got the website wrong now amended

Booked with Virgin Atlantic £860, including internal flight to East London. Very painless so far, have booked very competitive cull hunt with a PH who has spoken to me twice so far and is guiding me through the process, check out www.wildhorizon.co.za I have a very competitive rate that I can upgrade to trophy animals etc, this guy is the best PH I've dealt with, really wants to make my hunt an experience, came from referrals form guys on this site. deerwarden.

I have a corporate account with Virgin for all my Safari clients and touch wood they have always been great with firearms and any changes required. The Corp status always helps getting the guys bumped FOC too!!

Just a warning for anyone travelling from Manchester Airport, I have just been advised that Firearms will no longer be carried by the baggage handlers,so if you have booked a flight like i have be warned you cannot travel with it,best contact your travel agent and look at alternitive Airports.

Andy,
Which Airlines baggage handlers?
Air France had no problems with me today when I informed them and got confirmation.
HMRC handle firearms, not security or baggage handlers, on the outbound.

Three of us travelled with Air France, on the return journey two of our gun cases had very visible footprints on them, we went straight to the complaints desk, already had 5 people there complaining of damaged hold luggage, we asked them to arrange a secure viewing of the contents of our gun cases. My mates binn's were damaged, and my Leopold V111 4.5x15x50 long range scope visibly damaged, the staff were totally indifferent to our complaints. It took almost a year of constraint phone calls followed up with lengthy letters to get compensation, they sent a Mickey Mouse type plastic gun case to replace the metal one!! and denied any lack of care on their part for the scope damage, I took pictures of the footprints at the complaints desk and of the damage B4 I left the airport. In the end I gained a new case and scope only by going down the small claims court route. I have flown with B.A. and Air France, and cannot recommend either companies for carrying firearms or their service, SAA were very good, but by far the best all round service was with Virgin, clean aircraft and nothing was too much trouble on board by the flight attendants. deerwarden
Can't beat a small claims action to get someone's attention! The summons landing on their desk usually does the trick
