Re: Seen at Ballito Airfield
I believe the RV belongs to Mervin Roberts a repeat RV builder. It's old home was Dave Emonds hanger at Virginia.
I flew in the Cub ZS-BJA in May 1980 a week after my dad was killed in his Breezy. At that time Alwyn Swanepoel owned it. Who is the current owner?
Great pictures by the way.

Re: Seen at Ballito Airfield
The Ballito Microlight School has been there since 1997 so the Airfield must have been there some time prior to thatkrusty wrote:It had been there quite a while before I moved to Ballito which was 13 years ago...Christopher wrote:How long has there even <been> an airfield at Ballito?
