Anyone have any idea of what's expected?

I see a Russian frigate with a Kamov heli onboard is at Simonstown.

very little.
No night shoot
a few ships open to the public and some demos in the arena

SAS Amatola and the Chinese Frigate left due to a incident off the coast of Mossel Bay, but no official update on that.

Festival layout

Anyone with the registration of the Kamov?

Just a stupid Question, why does the navy have to exhibit BMW's? or am I missing something. I hope it

I can ask around, but I do not think BMW will develop a submarine BMW like the James Bond car "Wet Nellie".?

What about the Lynx helicopters?

My son went to have a look today, SA Navy only has the Drakensberg, Protea and SAS KING SEKHUKHUNE1.
The biggest attraction is the Russian ships and without them it would be a very small Navy festival.
Have not seen a Lynx around but the Oryx was training with the guys doing fast roping and extraction.

I will walk down and have a look tomorrow.

RF-19191 is on the tail

SAS Amatola still off Plettenberg Bay this morning

Thanks for the Kamov reg, where's the Chinese frigate?

Chinese frigate has returned home after the incident at sea.

Both Russian ships left this morning and SAS Amatola arrived back

Indian and Brazilian ships arrived to a 21 gun salute and are anchored in the bay

What incident happened?

sailor missing overboard off the southern cape

Oh no. So that's why they cancelled. Probably considered bad luck.

Anyone have a REG for the Brasilian Lynx and if the Indian frigate has a heli onboard.

Been 4 nice helis recently with the Chinese Y-8 onboard the hospital ship.
