THE AIRFORCE - FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM

The Airforce History The SAAF Museum Friends of The Museum

The Friends are a purely voluntary organisation consisting of civil members from the private sector. Originally based in Johannesburg, the Friends quickly expanded with bases in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria.

Objects of the Friends

The Friends are a voluntary non-profit organisation run by civilians dedicated to the preservation and display of the history and aircraft of the South African Air Force (SAAF). The Friends are primarily concerned with providing the Museum with three vital necessities, without which the Museum would be a mere shadow of its present self: fund-raising, maintenance and restoration work. The Cape Town branch was officially formed in 1984.Membership of the Friends is open to all and although we provide support to the SAAF Museum, we do not receive any funds from the SAAF or the government. Members who wish to work on aircraft or undertake other tasks may join various work parties. Others could help man the Museum shop or undertake research.

Donations are most welcome.
