PART from being a highlight on the Eastern Cape’s event calendar, the Baywest Port Elizabeth Airshow will be the proverbial wind beneath the wings of a number of charities which stand to benefit from this year’s event. According to airshow director and head of the MTR Smit Children’s Haven in Port Elizabeth, Dr Crystal Watson, numerous charities and initiatives will reap the benefits of the giving nature of thousands of aviation enthusiasts expected to flock to the airshow. “As in the past, proceeds of the airshow will be carefully distributed to not only benefit the MTR Smit Children’s Haven. We have a long-

standing tradition of assisting other charities in any way possible,” Watson said. Children’s charities, aviation development for under-privileged children and wildlife preservation initiatives are at the top of the beneficiary list this year. This year’s airshow will be hosted on the grounds of the South African Airforce (SAAF) Museum in Southdene, behind Forest Hill. According to airshow organising committee member, SAAF representative and curator of the SAAF Museum, Captain Mark Kelbrick, the change in venue opens up a world of possibilities to organisers and visitors alike. “The venue offers more parking as well as leisure areas and also affords airshow-goers easy access to the museum displays.” Renovations at the Museum are currently

under way, ahead of the airshow on October 25. According to Kelbrick, the line-up and vision for this year’s event may very well result in the show once again being selected as the best airshow in the country. “The PE airshow has won the coveted airshow of the year award twice and has been runner-up twice. Only one other airshow, namely the Swartkops Museum Show, has won the airshow of the year award twice,” said Kelbrick. An action expo, numerous stalls and exciting competitions will provide plenty of entertainment on the day, while Brian Emenis, world-renowned airshow commentator will keep visitors linked to the aviation action via live links from the pilots.
