Vintage aeroplanes mostly dating from the 1920s and 1930s are shortly due to finish a 13,000 kilometres rally flying from the Greek island of Crete to Cape Town in South Africa. The rally began in November and pilots have had adventure-filled journeys. The planes have mostly open cockpits and are equipped with only rudimentary navigation and safety equipment. They landed beside the Egyptian pyramids and flew over Mount Kilimanjaro on the way. Seven aircraft from a total of 11 starters are due to be in South Africa today.
