Hi, I haven't seen or snapped a Gripen or Hawk but I got this unmarked plane with a camera slung underneath flying over Centurion at about 15:00 on Sunday 11 July. Does anybody know who and what this is?

It's not a spyplane, :lol: :lol: but a SAAF Caravan with the Argos 410-Z.

Thanks Kremlin.

By the way, I got a 70-200mm glass and this is one of my first pics with it. I stell need a 2X teleconverter to make it usefull for airshows. The aircraft was still so small in the viewfinder that the focus wasn't always spot on. I hope it is better with the teleconverter and a bigger target in the viewfinder :-x
