but it flouts the 1 intercontinental departure and arrival in Europe.
Can anyone suggest any innovative solution? Also have LHR/CAI secor in A left over from previous AONE 4 RTW.

Getting back out of MRU at the end of the trip, assuming you don't plan to start another from there, isn't much more than from NBO - cheapest coach on a reputable carrier to LHR is about $100 more than NBO. For a one-way in biz, MRU is cheaper because MS serves the route.
I hope the people who are worrying about two passes through Europe haven't missed the posts that assert that an ex-Africa OWE can end anywhere in Africa, so HKG-JNB should do it. And Comair service JNB-MRU keeps being mentioned as starting Real Soon Now.

According to
http://mauritius-airport.intnet.mu/main/arrivals.htm
and
http://mauritius-airport.intnet.mu/main/departures.htm
there was a Comair flight between JNB and MRU every Sat and Sun throughout April up to May 7, 06.
Does anyone know if these flights happened? The Comair web site at www.comair.co.za has been down for weeks and, true to form, BA are absolutely no help.
