Wax group/South African World's video scammer/non-delivery of goods
Anyone out there that can lend a hand with the non-delivery of the video?
Anyone out there actually received the promised video and/or book? I sent a credit card payment in good faith well over a year ago, and haven't received a thing. Some contact with Carol Clifford and her attempts to help have yielded nothing, although appreciated her effort. She said that the situation was an embarrassment to the SASA, and that they were attempting to chase the guy down. So far, he's proven as tough to get as Osama Bin Laden. How about it, South African Soaring Society??? What gives? Would appreciate anyone else with similar situation to post here, or if you got the video, let us know that, too. Thanks, John Bojack Atlanta, GA USA |

I finally got one after much hastle about 4-5 months ago......however
it was in PAL format, therefore not usable on USA machines. Have a local guy that converted it for me. Keep in mind that Carol and the local organization had nothing to do with the video.....it was a South African commercial organization that did the work Gary "John" wrote in message ink.net...

Sorry Gary but that is a cop-out. The SSSA sanctioned and organised the
event and were responsible for awarding the rights to the commercial company that was supposed to make the video. To my mind they should have controlled the funds going to the company with some form of guarantee. This little eposode really has disillusioned me and I am an ex 'South African'!

I usually give people the benefit of the doubt. I think the video is
good, very good scenes of finishes and gaggles and good commentary by pilots and staff. A little long piece on Beatty (i think) talking about his ground breaking designs of the 60's and 70's.

So, do I understand the situation to be hopeless, dead-in-the-water.....and
that the SSSA has walked away from intervening? I'd also like to commend the "wax group" (whatever the hell that's supposed to be), for not ever even answering my emails to them. Evidently they're the S. African counterpart for our PayPal organization in that they're more than happy to make the commissions off converting credit card payments, but refuse any responsibility.
