About Me

My photo
Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
Growing up as a child, my sister joined the airforce and started a career as a photographer.I was always fascinated with her cameras, and when ever I got the chance had it in hand. Inevitability growing up around aircraft, whether it being on operational bases, or at airshows, or just visiting museums, with my father being a airforce veteran, and my sister a photographer, the bug bit me! I invested in my first SLR camera, that being a Canon EOS 450D, later on in 2011 I upgraded to a Canon EOS 7D. I continue to challenge myself and grow my skill.

Mi-24 A NATO Callsign "HIND" at the South African air force museum

I decided that I wanted to follow the restoration of this awesome machine at the museum, and I must say it is beginning to look super nice!
As I have it this machine was brought into SA as scrap, but then donated to the museum. It is a russian built gunship with troop carrying ability, the A model has this rather odd looking "green house" kind of canopy, and is fitted with a nose mounted 23mm cannon, and can carry a wide variety of other weapons including some air to air missiles, air to ground rockets and anti armor missiles.Rather deadly indeed.
I hope you enjoy the awesome work being done by the museum staff as much as i do!
