RE: The piece of the cold war nobody told you about - Africa's forgotten war - the SA Bomber Aircraft.
@gavvet
You have good knowledge of the SAAF...love your narratives... But from today's sophisticated fighter jets these seems outdated but can still cause heavy damage to enemy targets. Flying is interesting but flying such needs caurage and training...If I may ask what's the present conditions of all these...are they still in the SAAF fleets? Nice info. Keep it up ...upvoted & following for many more...
these were retired in the early 90's
oops, hit that comment a bit to hard... guess its your lucky day then...
a lucky day indeed..thanks @gavvet...
so when can we get to read about the new and updated SAAF's fleets... As an african ...such infos makes me proud...thanks once more for sharing
the SAAF is now just a shadow of its former self.
i see..anyways...thanks sharing this info mate..keep it up!
Hi, I am new to this group. Just a curiosity. We bought the Buccaneers from Hawker Sideley, which only some time after the transaction amalgamated with, or were bought out by Blackburn. I saw them only very often where I grew up in the Cape. The Imps from Langebaan were even more scarce in those days. The SAAF birds I learnt to love were the Shackleton as it returned to DF Malan airport after their sorties over the sea. And then the Harvards from Youngsfield that added to the rock and roll noises of the day. Loved it.
