Just curious as to why there haven't been any? Lack of funds? Really miss watching the ground runs |

I think technical issues. |

The monthly ground-runs were put on hold while 1722’s propellers were being treated for corrosion. Work is nearly complete and once a test run has been done to check for vibration, a date will be set for a public ground-run. |

Was at Ysterplaat today and the Shackleton successfully completed its ground run without any prop vibration issues. Announcement for the next public ground run will be released shortly. |

Regretably, Saturday's (31 Aug '13) ground-run has been postponed to Saturday 07 September 2013, due to severe weather predictions throughout the entire coming weekend. |

I would think from 11h30. Earlier if you want to see 1722 being taken out of 4 Hangar and maybe hear some choice words, currently not found in the English Dictionary, from Pottie. Please note this exercise carries a PG 18 restriction (strong language) and is not suitable for children! |
