One of the many sons of King Sobuza II

of Swaziland

I met the Prince Sobuza, when I landed in a field in Swaziland in 1972, where I saw an aircraft on the ground. Thinking it was a landing strip, I landed  my ZS ECC Beechcraft on the strip. However, the plane on the ground had crashed, and I had landed in its wake. A car passing by stopped, and asked if we needed any help. I asked the whereabouts of the Hotel that was hosting the Golf Tournement in Swaziland. The Prince replied that he was on his way there some few miles up the road. We climbed in his car not knowing who he was. I tipped him 20 Rand for his help, which he took with a big smile. On arrival, we found the hotel to be full, and the doorman asked me if I had been brought in by Prince Sobuza, I said, if that is who he is, yes, but where is he now? The doorman replied I will ask him to come to you, which he did. I explained to the Prince that the Hotel was full, so I we needed to get back to the plane. He took us back, and said he would wait until we were off the ground. I backtracked ECC, and realized that there was albeit a very short distance to get airborne. I did my pre-fligh checks, feet hard on breaks, full throttle and released the brakes, at 1,000 rpm - after 50 or 100 feet, pulled 40% flaps in one go, symultaneously pulling back the elevators, one bounce and we were airborne, just a few feet over the Princes head, who was now prostrate on the ground. We flew on to Durban, South Africa instead, and never went back to Swaziland.
