Cdr Mac Bisset and WO1 Andre Wessels having a chat at the Naval Museum and Naval Heritage Trust stand at this year's Naval Festival. By all accounts the festival was a great success and the museum and trust managed to sell quite a number of books. The most popular book - "South Africa's Navy" - is almost sold out and will not be reprinted any time soon - if at all. If you do not have a copy you had better order one very quickly from the Naval Museum!
A highlight of the festival was the submarines, one of which is the SAS Assegai which is going to be at the museum and open to the public in the not too distant future. Visitors queued for hours to get the opportunity to get on board and the boat will no doubt be a great attraction once it is permanently at the museum.
