AFB Ysterplaat land ownership edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is my understanding that the land on which AFB Ysterplaat is on is owned by an influential family within the Milnerton area. The land was on loan for use by the Air Force on the condition that the land continue to be used as a Military Air Force Base. This would explain why the SAAF has been hesitant to downgrade the base. Further investigation and verification would obviously be required. Also, whether or not this is even "encyclopaedic" is another story. --Brendan Hide (talk) 17:52, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
