The SA Air Force (SAAF) Museum as the guardian of South Africa’s military aviation history is aware of the sorry state of both gate guards at Port Elizabeth Airport, now renamed Dawid Stuurman International.
The Albatross maritime reconnaissance aircraft is currently not on its plinth following a clean-up and new paint job three years ago. Similarly, the Impala which also kept watch at the entrance to the Eastern Cape airport is also “grounded”.
Major Ntokozo Ntshangase, acting OC of the SAAF Museum, told defenceWeb “the status of the gate guards at Port Elizabeth Airport has been noted”.
