	Bases of the SAAF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The SAAF most northern air base, situated near the border with Zimbabwe, it is also it's most modern.
		The SAAF commenced vacating the base in 1999, with the intention of leaving only the SAAF Museum behind and thus the base is now known as 'Swartkop', an extension of AFB Waterkloof.
		Although it was announced in 2002 that the units based at AFB Ysterplaat would relocate to the existing SAAF premises at Cape Town International Airport, it was subsequently decided to move the units at AFB Yysterplaat Detached to AFB Ysterplaat and AFB Langebaanweg, with the units moving in 2003.

	South Africa - Air Force Equipment
		The establishment of the SAAF was greatly facilitated by the extremely generous decision by the Imperial Government in 1919 to allocate to the Union some 100 aeroplanes from its war stocks, complete with spared and equipment.
		The SAAF’s single most memorable feat in North Africa was probably the "Boston Shuttle Service", during which eighteen aircraft of 12 and 24 Squadrons showered hundreds of tons of bombs on the Afrika Korps as it relentlessly pushed the Eighth Army back towards Egypt during the "Gazala Gallop" in the first half of 1942.
		The unit was renamed the SAAF Regiment on 1 August 1943, its task being the defence of airfields and the capture of enemy aerodromes.

	Friedrich Körner
		On 19 March, 1942, an RAF Curtiss P-40, possibly of 80 Squadron, 7 SAAF Wing, was downed by Körner over the sea east of Tobruk.
		Once the initial shock and tension of a younger pilot's first aerial victory wore off, the fledgling fighter pilots were then better able to effectively put their air combat skills to the test.
		Körner was a firm believer that it was far better to have 10 pilots in a squadron with 10 kills each, than to have just one greedy pilot with 30-40 kills.
