Enthusiasts lose one vintage plane but press on south through Africa

Aviators flying vintage planes the length of Africa were showing them off in the skies over a Kenyan game park on Sunday, a day after one of the aircraft was wrecked in a forced landing.

The Vintage Air Rally, including biplanes built in the 1920s and 1930s, has flown from Europe past Egypt's pyramids and through Sudan and Ethiopia, where participants were briefly detained because of a dispute over whether they had proper authorization.

"They are tough conditions for the aeroplanes. It's hot, it's high and in the afternoons we get the thunderstorms," rally organiser Sam Rutherford told reporters as the planes flew over a game park on the outskirts of Nairobi.
