Johannesburg
Graeme,
I did indeed. I went to South Africa in 1975, initially in Jo'burg on the Hiller 12E's and Bell 47's doing powerline inspections and survey work. It was great sport and we would spend 4-6 weeks in the field with a Bell 47 staying in places like Oliphantshoek and Sishen. Went down to Durban for a few weeks on the ship-servicing contract based at Virginia airport and that was good fun too. We had a Wessex, Whirlwind and an Alouette 2. The Wessex & Whilrwind were for ship-servicing but the Al 2 was used on a 6- weekly pipeline inspection that went from Durban to Middleburg in Transval via Sasolburg and back down to Durban by a different route. I did that once and it was brilliant but regretably I took very few pics in South Africa.
When in Jo'burg I stayed at Baragwanath too. It was the Johannesburg Light Plane Club and steeped in history. 'Bara G' is closed now but hopefully JLPC is still there if only as a museum.
