Lovely pictures - does this mean that the site is no longer used by the SAAF at all, or that they've just relinquished ownership?

It was never owned by the SAAF, they just use it for training, as and when required.

Did a flip from there as well. Champagne breakfast on the little berg. Very nice. Especially the drop off over the little berg escarpment...
