Thanks for that, Larry. Really enjoyed it. The SAAF flew Shackletons on
coastal patrol missions until quite recently. They have all been pensioned
off now. One had to land in the Sahara en route to a festival in the UK &
was never recovered. All the SAAF Harvard trainers were either scrapped or
sold privately. They had a lot. The private ones still participate at air
shows. I remember driving on a rural road not far south of Phalaborwa some
years ago when a couple of Canberras gave us a hell of a fright when they
shot past only about 100m away in a valley to our right! The SAAF has no
flying Spitfires left. They restored a few but they all subsequently
crashed.

A friend on another mailing list posted this link to photos and stories
of low level flying. I am confident that at least a few people on this list
will enjoy it
