AFB Ysterplaat to close!
Date: 5 March 2001
It was announced today that the SAAF is scaling down operations at AFB Ysterplaat with immediate effect and that they would vacate the base by March 2002.
As the deed of lease states that the property must remain an airfield, there is the possibility that it could be converted to a civilian airfield for light aircraft.
