Hi all
Can someone that knows this area please tell whose runway/strip this is?
Need the contact details or name please - urgent!
The oval towards the right top is the Gerotek testing facility...

Hey, I stay just above the pinprick against the mountain.
That field belongs to Marius Combrinck. Used to fly a Beaver out of there and now a Bell 47. I've landed several times there with the trike.
Marius: 078 seven18 three670 or 083 three10 seven060

Hey John!
Just be aware that this airstrip is very close to the no-fly danger area surrounding Pelindaba (seen to the south west).
So, although outside the DA, one could not approach it from the south west.
Cheers,
John

Hi John well aware of that but this is for something that can make that airspace even more restricted...

We fly over that area frequently as it is on our way to Harties. It better not get restricted airspace
