These photographs originate from the archives of the SAAF museum Ysterplaat. The photographs are part of the album of veteran ww2 SAAF 1sqdn fighter pilot Bruce Rose-Christie that was donated to the museum. It was kindly made available to me by the museum staff. I placed the photographs on this web site in order to share these gems to historians, enthusiasts and the wider public. Please respect the copy rights of these photographs and contact me to obtain the necessary permission if you want to duplicate some of this material in other web sites or printed matter.
