Where to look for (site/Museum/Association) an SAAF (WW2) Accident Report?

Good evening to all members.

Am looking for an Accident Report related to a SAAF WW2 machine, but I have tried and was unable to find where I could obtain a PDF or copy of the Accident Report.

Does anyone knows if in South African Air Force is there something like the NARA where one can download or search for this kind of (digtalized or not digitalized) document?

Any help where to find this document would be most welcomed.

Adriano

STEFAAN BOUWER,

My DEEPEST GRATITUDE for that most helpful information. Am actually helping a good friend of mine who do not have (yet) an account here.

I shall pass your information to him right away.

STEFAAN,
We have tried to send several e-mails for the South African Air Force (SAAF), SAAF Museum, and SAAF Squadrons Associations, but sadly we got no joy at all. The messages keep bouncing and coming back (not delivered)...so we were really stuck where to find this piece of information.
I sent at least 3 private researchers, a similar message, but they have not yet answered back.

Let's hope this e-mail link you sent us will be a door-opener for us.

Humbly yours,

OBS: We have found some SAAF Squadrons Diaries at NARA, but actually not what we were looking for.

Adriano

Adriano,
Clinton Barnard (oopsaahcast@yahoo.com) has helped me in the past.
It is worth an email.
