Guns - were those 50 landings off the same approach, Boet..??

Seriously - yes, you're right, it's not used often, but it is used as a runway sometimes and it can save your bacon during those 3 or 4 hours when the NW is changing to SW after the passage of a cold front in winter. During the years I was based down there I probably used it twice a year on average.
