Scotty's avionics Upgrade complete

For those of you who read our recent newsletter, and heard about the avionics upgrades taking place in the aircraft, we had an exciting day today.
Scotty went for a successful Test flight following completion of its upgrade and a recent engine change.
It will now return to service as part of the MAF Uganda fleet and work will begin on the avionics upgrade of FRM.

We come from quite different backgrounds (Sarah, a well-travelled Missionary Kid and Mark having grown up in a Christian family in the same town his whole life). We were married in 1999 having met at our home church in Gillingham, Kent. Here Sarah worked as a speech and language therapist and Mark as a Quality Technician for BAE Systems. In 2000, we felt called to full-time mission service abroad.

Mark trained to become an aircraft maintenance engineer with Missionary Maintenance Services in Ohio, USA and we then served with MAF in Uganda from 2005 -2016 where Mark worked as an aircraft maintenance engineer.

From 2016 -2020 we served in Liberia where Mark had the role of Chief Engineer as part of the new and growing programme.

We are now embarking on a new adventure with MAF.

We head to Nairobi, Kenya in September 2020. Mark is taking on the role of Area Head of Maintenance. He will have oversight of the maintenance of the MAF aircraft based in Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania and Chad. This role will be more desk based although he is keen to spend some hours on the hangar floor to maintain his engineering skills.

We are privileged to have a team of supporters behind us who pray, or give, or both.
