this is the first i have heard of this devastating storm...were all the damaged aircraft inside or parked outside of hangers at the time the storm hit?
Sorry to see the extent of damage to all those beutifull airies..no words can heal that pain
you guys were supposed to come to panorama airfield for breakfast...lets hope you can still make that happen sometime soon. :(
Glad no one was hurt and flying at the time

All parked inside the hangars and glad that no-one was around when it happened...

Tumbleweed, this sounds absolutely great ! I don't find this very expensive.

Maybe we can ask members of the forum to approach them with a group-cover option and knock another 10 % off ?

I am in.

Very sad indeed - My sympathies for the damage suffered - If you want to use the magazine or MISASA website to promote a relief fund - just let me know.

C'mon someone in Gauteng, get a relief fund going. Every little bit helps.

This looks very much like a tornado as the damage is severe only in certain spots, the hanger in this case, where the tornado "touches down". Have seen this many times including more recently in the Kloof and south coast areas in KZN. Houses completely demolished and large trees uprooted! Very unfortunate indeed.
