So when is it coming to South Africa?

...and in any case I am against it being re-entered in any contest, even one 
where the rules allow it.

For those newcomers who don't know about my Halbie, it was originally sent 
to SP in Florida, as a swap for his 1/72 SE-5a which was entered in my local 
show in Brisbane.

That was the entire original intention. However, Halbie went feral, courtesy 
of Ernest the Heretic, who carted it off to a contest in Alabama, then Brett 
who toured it around half of North America. She has since been passed from 
listee to listee and visited Portugal, Sweden, England, Scotland?, Belgium 
and the Netherlands.

*I* prefer *not* to influence where Halbie goes. For me the thrill isn't in 
the contests or results, but in the whole idea of it being passed around the 
world and seen by as many listees as possible, a sort of physical link 
between virtual clubmates. Having the listees themselves decide on her 
"mission" is part of that fun
