Amazing that an Avcom thread doesn't go beyond 3 posts when a Part of an aeroplane falls to ground. No speculation, no theories, no response?

Re: Aircraft door falling in Bloem
One of the posts stated that the SA Air Force collected the door for 'their investigation'....
Was a SAAF aircraft involved here? The color scheme is similar to those on the SAAF Caravans and King Airs

Can unfortunately not open the article as it is behind a paywall. Claim it to be from a medevac aircraft.
