I’m off to Cape Town SA on March 13th, for a friends wedding.
However, I’m going to get about a weeks sightseeing time while I’m there.
So, I was just wondering if you think it’s worth paying a visit to ‘Thunder City’, as I believe that it’s in the Cape Town area?
Has anyone here been ………what’s it like etc.
Cheers
Kev 😀 😀

Hi All
Please stop it, it so makes me want to go. I could always take XP706 with me and make the Lightning fleet up to 5. Anyone had a lottery win ?

Done!!……….camera charging as we speak 😀
I’m tempted to give ’em an e-mail, to see if I can get a proper look round.
Cheers
Kev 🙂
Tell ’em who you are and who your assosiated with ‘monkey boy’ and also tell them about the Lightnings we have here and I’m sure you’ll get the VIP treatment. Don’t tell snotty Scotty though! He’ll be well miffed!! 😀 😀
When you coming up the Museum Kev. We’re all missing you and hope your getting better 😉

I went a couple of years ago, definatly worth a visit. There is normally someone there who will give you a guided tour of the facility if not you are invited to speak to any of the engineers they all seemed pretty friendly. I didn’t see anything fly during my visit to Cape Town but you never know! If you get a taxi there most drivers seem prepared to wait about an hour without charging you anymore although I always gave them a good tip. There are some F1 cars there as well as the jets but you may be a bit dissapointed if you want to buy some merchandise as they didn’t have anything at all when I was there. Guess your memento is supposed to be a trip in a jet!
P.S. Dont forget to post them piccies 😉 XP693 due to fly anyday now!

Thunder City is in the Cape Town telephone-directory. You might give them a call before setting out for a visit.

Hi Kev,
Definitely worth a visit! Thunder City have their premises at the Cape Town International Airport (don’t know it’s proper name). Their Javelin gate-guard was easy to spot when I visited in december 2004 and shows you the way.
Please take a camera and show us some piccies of their kerosene-burning heavy metal!
