Members of The Johannesburg Light Plane Club, based at Syferfontein Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, are justifiably proud of their Aircraft. Some are Vintage, Veteran, Classic, Sport or simply fascinating machines. Many are in pristine condition having been found in poor condition or basket cases and restored to their former glory, others have been lovingly cared for since new and are in immaculate condition.

Tiger Moth: ZS-UKW
There is a rich history behind the Watson Tiger Moth, and this nostalgia adds to the effect of flying such a romantic aircraft. There really is something special about open cockpit flying that harks back to the origins of flight and ‘real’ aviation.
