Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hi All,


Spend some weeks with the wife in a warm South Africa.
Here some shots from a non spotting holiday....

A nice old Cheetah 342 at the Swartkop AB Museum

Who knows the ID of this P.166S at Port Elizabeth?

Another old bird in the storage hanger at Ysterplaat AB

Some trainers at Langebaanweg AB. Note the covered canopies from the students.....to fly with their instruments.

This Impala could be found just inside the gate at Langebaanweg AB.

WATCH OUT!! this is also what you can spot outside the fence in Africa.


Hope you liked them.
