Military Aviation

Welcome to Military Aviation...

This Site has been set up in memory of all
Pilots and Crew who have given up their
lives in defence of Freedom and Democracy.
Right through from World War 1 up to and
including the present. It is also in Honour of
the Pilots and all Personnel of the USAF,
RAF and Allied Air Forces who still put their
lives on the line so that we may have freedom.

In particular..... I would like to pay tribute to
my Uncle who saw active service as a Pilot with
the SAAF during the Korean War. He completed
his Flying Career as an Instuctor on the Boeing
747's. This is a Posthumus Salute to him.



As long as the threat to Democracy is ever
present, so will there be the need to protect,
non-stop, all that makes up True Democracy.

The Aviation Videos as below, cover just some
of my Favourite Aircraft, from the DeHaviland
Mosquito through to Carrier based Aircraft.

My 2 all time favourites are:

The De Haviland Mosquito and The Dassault
Mirage111.
I had the priviledge of personally " Looking
After" 2 Mirage 111 CZ's in 1973 while doing
my Military Service in the South African Air Force.
The other details are " Classified"

I will be adding Overviews+ General Details about
the Aircraft shown in the videos in the near future.

Yes... I have had flying in my blood for most of my
life.
