re: Spelling of name

Updated — thank you very much.

Spelling of name

I feel compelled just to draw attention to the error in the spelling of the town's name in your website and therefore also that of the airport with an 'e', as "Barkley" - correctly spelt "Barkly". I point this out in the hope that my doing so will not offend and that you would wish to make a correction rather than allowing the error to remain on your website. Please delete this comment as you wish.

flight times

May I make a suggestion. Please use 24 hour time reference. If only for one reason: there are 24 hours in a day and not 2 x 12 hours. I am looking at your arrival times for today for instance. You refer to flights landing at 12.55 pm and the next flight after that is 1.00pm which goes to prove that you are even confused yourselves! after 12h00 should be 13h00, 14h00 etc because there is no way that anyone can be confused by this. Do you even know what pm and am stands for? it is latin and I am sure that not one of you can speak this language. Most Italians can not even speak it. Lastly, there is a very good reason why armies world wide use 24 hours a day time reference.

Flight information on this site

On Thursday morning, before the huge storm struck in mid afternoon, I looked at International Arrivals to see what the scheduled time for the afternoon SAA flight from Lilongwe was noted as. It said 3.30pm and LANDED. All day it said LANDED, which was very inaccurate. It was diverted to Durban at 3.30 as the pilot could not land the aircraft! The passengers eventually landed back in Johannesburg at 8pm.....I was too busy driving back to the Sandton Gautrain pick up point to be able to check to see if the site had been updated. If it had said DIVERTED at 4pm I would have saved myself a nightmare trip to Sandton and back.

Air Strip and Hangers

Hi There, i was wondering weather you can help me. I am a researching for Migrate Films Company and have been back and forth trying to find dusty air strips with Hangers (kind of deserted) so small landing strips are what we are looking for to pitch for this international shoot. I have looked for the air strips in the follwing places between Pottsville & Eendekuil- Malmesbury, Wellington, Tulbagh, Loeriesfontien, Niewoudtville, Calvinia, Sutherland. I cannot seem to get my hands on any photographs. Do you have any suggestions who might or where i might be able to find? sorry if this is the incorrect forum for this my research on these places has just lead me to here and desperate times call for desperate measures.

If you do have any suggestions pls get back to me at frances@atomikpictures.com. It would be such a great help to just talk with someone who knew these smaller landing strips.

Thanks so much

Frances

Announcements

The announcements at the airport drive me crazy. The terrible use of their voices, the pitch of the voice, the pronouncements and the tone is absolutely terrible. I just can't understand why you don't coach your announcers properly. This is a world-class airport, except for the terrible annoucements. It seems as if they really don't care what they sounds like and if they have no proud of who they are or who they represent. Kindly note that I have made a sound rcording of this unslaught on our ears and will definitely bring it to the attention of whoever wants to hear it.

How wonderful to see life in Somerset East Again!!

Molly Cohen earned her "wings" Pilot's Licence in Somerset East in 1950 and at which time she was the youngest woman to do so.

Sadly, my mother, Molly did not live to see the day that the Aerodrome became an Airport as she died last year on 8 October 2012.

I still have her "wings" and all her Pilot study manuals and lessons which were recorded from all those years back.
