Several Hangars have been broken into at Klipriver Airfield and there`s
Aircraft "stuff" lying around. Those of you who are currently hangaring there I sugest to take a drive out.

Hell guys, this type of thing scares the hell out of me Bara is nearly an hours drive should something go wrong at least there is someone there 24/7 Guys I hope all is well... let us know

Scary thought.

I talked to a guy tonight with similar mishap where kites were literally dissected for the Aluminium, tubes and structure cut off at random and carted away, pieces of trikes all over the show.

Hope sincerely not as bad

We've just gone the whole hog at the Circus Airfield. Pepper gas system with armed response and there are guys living on the property that work as security guards. A student used to lecture at Vaal University but now has designed a stand alone system with back up battery etc, (without power: Klip - maybe a small solar panel would be needed) for about R2900. GSM based, it can be armed via cellphone, will set off an alarm and notify 2 numbers via sms/missed call. Many other functions....but it works...! Not a plug for the company.....but it could save massive cash and damage. See www.Secucell.co.za

If you call me, "Trespassers will be shot . . . . . . . . . .survivors will be shot again!!!!!!!!!"





No therapy did not help. I will do it for fun.

Now doesnt that sound familiar....

Springs(FASI) used to be a safe place where you can hanger without any concerns.

The past 11/2 year it has all changed. We've had countless burglaries into hangers, the pub(Silwer Wings) and cars stolen or broken into while pilots are out flying.

On top of this is all our electrical cable being stolen that powers the runway lights. Each time we replace it, "they" just come and steal it again....!

Currently night landings at Springs were stopped.

A week ago they broke into Rudi Greyling who's on this forums hanger. Now Rudi and Angelo really did everything to secure that hanger with one mean alarm system ect and the side door of the hanger that goes into the house was secured with a steel sheet infront.

They simply just used a "koevoet" and broke open that solid steel door, kicked open the wooden door and with the alarm going, only manage to steal a R300 kettle, but R2500 damage

Can we get an update on what happened here?

Sent cold shivers down my spine.

Bastards, bastards, bastards. It seriously pisses me off. The lack of regard for someone elses property. I don't give a damn how hungry you are. If you can't find a job or have nowhere to turn to, have a peasefull ha, ha, ha demonstration and make it YOUR government's problem.

Sorry to hear about this . Hope it wasn't too serious.

Ok Guys, lets update you all. Although this is bad news, it is not all that bad! Two hangars were broken into, my one was one of them and the other one Canaco's one. Whoever broke in there was looking for something or had nothing better to do. They got into my hangar and did not even move the dust on any of the planes. Canaco however, had a box of consol games or something, and that is what they took. No damage was caused to any plane whatsoever. Hope this clears up the stories doing the rounds.

Porra.
