About an hour ago I passed a convoy on the N12 between Hopetown and Strydenburg. Four G6 on transporters, a Command Ratel, another Ratel type I could not recognise in the few seconds I saw it, and a few Samil trucks. Given the route (N12 rather than N1) I presume they are from Potchefstroom. |

Visited the Fan Park this morning. SAAF static display a little disappointing, the only hardware being an Agusta A109 and a SAAF Museum Alo III. There were also displays by the SAAF Museum, Survival Section, etc. Flying included a six-ship heli flypast (Oryx, 2 x A109, 2 X Super Lynx, Rooivalk) and a low-cloud display by the Silver Falcons. Cannot upload photos due to the pin in my CF card reader breaking.

The Army had some very good display at the Fanpark at the Mandela Park Stadium in Khayelitsha.
