	South African Team Hails Swedish Experience
		Denel Aviation's STTP technology team, based at Saab's facility in Linköping, are clearly enjoying their Swedish experience.
		The SAAF and Armscor (South Africa’s Defense materiel administration) are the procuring agencies for the STTP agreement, with Denel as the primary recipient.
		Denel has, in turn, gathered in the rest of South Africa’s aerospace industry to ensure that client-specific (and national) needs are met.

	Welcome to Denel online
		Denel's primary markets are in South Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Asia Pacific Region, while contribution from the rest of the African continent, North and South America is at an early growth stage.
		Denel Chairman, Sandile Zungu said, "Although gross revenue is only marginally up from last year's R4 372-million, this has to be seen in the context of the Rand strengthening no less than 26% against the US Dollar during the year.
		Denel is grateful to the South African Government for its constructive support in resolving this complex problem that was a legacy of the past.

	AIRSHIP > LTA South Africa
		THAC and Denel are planning to enter the airship in an Atlantic challenge against 15 other manufacturers who are competing to be the first to cross the ocean by airship since the Hindenburg.
		Denel Aviation, quoted by The Star and other newspapers yesterday as being the "backer" behind a new R85-million airship by The Hamilton Airship Company (THAC), said last night its involvement with the project was limited to developmental assistance.
		Clarifying a statement by Denel spokesman Paul Holtzhausen in which he said no agreement existed between Denel and THAC for the final development or production of the airship, Denel Aviation's CEO Pottie Potgieter admitted last night it was concerned that readers of yesterday's report may misconstrue the nature of Denel's involvement.
