"The story behind these pictures was that during 1964 South Africa still had Army Pilots and one night at the pub they claimed they were better than the Airforce pilots and that they would never be able to make them hit the deck. Needless to say the following day the Army pilots were on a route march and were spotted by the Airforce guys."
