The international sanctions laid upon South Africa because of apartheid forced the country to create its own defence industry. The first flight of the Rooivalk attack helicopter dates back to February 1990. The drive train and powerplant are based on the Aerospatiale SA-330 Puma series and the Turbomeca Makila engine. The Rooivalk was a finalist in Turkey's attack helicopter evaluation but lost against the Agusta A129 Mangusta. In the end, only 12 Rooivalks were produced for the SAAF.

When the USA refused export license for further C-130s for South Africa, they turned to France and bought nine Transall C-160Z which arrived between July 1969 and December 1970. They served with 28 Sqd at AFB Waterkloof alongside the Hercules until the fleet was retired at the end of 1992. During the Border War era, the SAAF operated their Transalls with very discrete markings. Only the last digit of the registration is painted on aircraft and above the cockpit windows. Here seen at the then AFB Pietersburg. Photographer unknown

No 2 Sqn SAAF served in Korea as part of the USAF's 18th Fighter Bomber Wing initially with Mustangs and from 1953 with F-86Fs. This photo is probably taken at K-55 Osan-Ni Air Base (now simply Osan) that year. Photographer unknown

A severe cyclone named "Gafilo" hit Madagascar in March 2004. South Africa offered help and airlifted four Oryx helicopters to Antananarivo. 1237 is seen here after being flown in by an IL-76, re-assembled and ready for a technical flight, before assisting the relief efforts throughout the island. A total of 50 Oryx helicopters were built for the SAAF by Atlas / Denel.

During the Rhodesian and Border Wars, the South African Air Force kept a low profile with no national markings. The last number(s) of the serial were stenciled on the nose. This is 6859 a Dakota that was delivered to the RAF in March 1944. The following year 6859 went to the SAAF where she was active with 28, 44 and 60 Sqds for 49 years. In 1994 she was transferred to the SAAF Museum in flying condition. Here seen landing at Phalaborwa in the then Transvaal (now Limpopo), home to the 7th South African Infantry Battalion.

When the USA refused export license for further C-130s for South Africa, they turned to France and bought nine Transall C-160Z which arrived between July 1969 and December 1970. They served with 28 Sqd at AFB Waterkloof alongside the Hercules until the fleet was retired at the end of 1992. This discrete Transall is seen landing at Phalaborwa in the then Transvaal (now Limpopo), home to the 7th South African Infantry Battalion. Photographer unknown
