#42 Air School - The History and How it came about

HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PORT ELIZABETH MONTHLY OUTING FOR APRIL WILL BE ON SATURDAY 22 APRIL.

Come and join us for a look at #42 AIR SCHOOL - The history and how it came about and a little information on Lieutenant-Colonel Allister Miller DSO OBE (1892–1951) who was a South African aviation pioneer, who contributed significantly to both military and civil aviation in his country during the first half of the 20th century.

The Port Elizabeth Branch of the South African Air Force Museum is located on the southern side of the Port Elizabeth Airport. The Museum boasts a total of nine aircraft, including helicopters, a supersonic jet fighter, two of the world famous Harvard trainers amongst others, and the oldest surviving jet fighter in South Africa.

There are ongoing restoration projects by a team of dedicated enthusiasts, who are members of the Friends of the SAAF Museum. There is also a display of aircraft memorabilia, together with a fine collection of models and pictures in the main exhibition hall. Interested aviation enthusiasts will be pleased to actually view the restoration work being carried out in a restored World War 2 hanger.
