Baragwanath?

Postby Jimbo » Wed Oct 15, 2008 3:22 pm

I grew up in the South of Jhb and remenber going to Baragwanath with my Dad in the 60s. Then we lived in what is now the old part of Ridgeway and I remember seeing aerobatic Tiger Moths or similar over the airfield from our garden and I also remember walking to an airshow there c 1970/71?

But then I thought it closed down along with the demise of the Baragwanath Drive-in in the development of Aeroton and later the new freeways

So here's a silly question from a non-flier..... I see references to Baragwanath here in this forum... where is it? Surely this isn't the "old" Bara?

To be more precise.......the Farm Syferfontein, 5km SouthWest of Lenasia, near the old Lenz military base, off the N12.
