Aerospace and Defence 2018, Waterkloof Air Force Base, Pretoria (now Tshwane)
19-23 September 2018
Report by Peter and Kim Davison
This biennial show celebrated 20 years in 2018 with a much enhanced air display. Seven hangars of trade exhibitions highlighted both suppliers and buyers of military hardware over three trade days that remained open but mainly unmanned on the two public days when around 90,000 visitors flocked to this hot and dusty airbase; home to transport and communications squadrons of the modernising South African Defence Forces.
