Hi Kangarou
Some nice Models you have there.
If you are in Sandton, I suggest you also visit the Museum of Military History next to the Zoo in Johannesburg. It has some unique aircraft like a Me 262 Night fighter.
You find a report of the museum and about Zwartkop here:
http://www.wings-aviation.ch/09-Museum/Basis-en.htmHi Illustrious,
Thanks for the advice, I have been told about it but another person too. I didn't have the opportunity to move away from my hotel last week-end at Sandton, so I didn't visit anything.
But next week-end, I am flying back to Jo'burg and I have plenty of time before boarding my flight back to Australia, so I might jump into a rental a go for a visit somewhere. My preference is still the SAAF museum at Zwartkop, but I have to say it is a bit confusing as I have been told only the outside exhibits can be seen due to some works into the hangars. It is fine by me as I consider worth it to go there and see the Mirage and Cheetah's outside, however, I have been told I have to request for a visit, give my details as I am not a South African citizen, but somebody else told me it is not necessary as the museum is at the opposite of the active area of the base...I got in contact with somebody on the phone, who told me he will see what in can do, but no answer yet...all a bit confusing...
