The SAAF's 7 Sqd was established on 1 April 1939 as an active Citizen Force unit, but remained dormant and disbanded later that year. Re-stablished as a fighter squadron 12 January 1942 flying Curtiss Mohawks. The squadron fought in East and North Africa and took part in the invasion of Italy before returning to South Africa and Ysterplaat remaining in the Cape until finally disbanded 31 December 1994. Here is a line up of the squadrons Harvards at AFB Ysterplaat. 7458 was delivered in 1943 and served with the SAAF until sold in the USA as N7458S in 1997. Photographer unknown

Other than the RAF, the SAAF was the only other user of the Avro Shackleton. Eight MR 3s were ordered in 1954 with deliveries in 1957 and 1958. Two were lost in accidents; 1718/K in 1963 and 1716/J in 1994. 1719/L or Pelican L, was delivered 13 October 1957. She served with 35 Sqd until retired in 1984 and but on display at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront where she was left to decay and was finally broken up at AFB Ysterplaat. Photographer unknown

The South African Department of Transport bought two Puma Js in support of the South African National Antarctic Expedition in 1980. They were operated by the SAAF's 30 Squadron at AFB Ysterplaat until that squadron was disbanded in 1991 when they were transferred to 22 Sqd and later sold on the civilian market. The Pumas operated from SA Aghulas in Antarctica from the 1980/81 summer change over. Seen here at AFB Ysterplaat in Cape Town in preparation for the 1987/88 summer change over. Photographer unknown

This is a Super Hind owned by Advanced Technologies and Engineering (ATE), the South African company that upgraded Russian built Mi-24s with better avionics and weapons, largely based on what was also used in the Rooivalk helicopters. Algeria and Azerbaijan were the only customers. Algeria had its Super Hinds re-upgraded to Mk. III standard in 2001. ATE also developed Mk. IV and Mk. V versions. Given that this picture was taken in 2008, it is possible that this is a later version. ATE had two Super Hinds themselves: this ZU-BOI and ZU-GAL.

This is a Super Hind owned by Advanced Technologies and Engineering (ATE), the South African company that upgraded Russian built Mi-24s with better avionics and weapons, largely based on what was also used in the Rooivalk helicopters. Algeria and Azerbaijan were the only customers. Algeria had its Super Hinds re-upgraded to Mk. III standard in 2001. ATE also developed Mk. IV and Mk. V versions. Given that this picture was taken in 2008, it is possible that this is a later version. ATE had two Super Hinds themselves: this ZU-BOI and ZU-GAL.
