Aviation Museum
of
South Africa
The Aviation Museum of South Africa encompasses a broad spectrum of South African Aviation history. Underneath this umbrella is an active collection of volunteer enthusiasts that maintain individual organisations, clubs and societies that collect, preserve and promote the colourful history of South African Aviation in its various forms. In some instances there are individuals or businesses that operate aircraft from a bygone era either commercially or for pleasure.
The Aviation Museum of South Africa exists to provide these organisations with infrastructure in order to proceed with their efforts.
This website is an index to the dedicated individuals and organisations that lovingly look after historical aviation in South Africa and make it available for all to see, hear, touch, smell and experience.
