Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Wingfield Aerodrome was first the Cape Town Municipal Aerodrome, then Air Force Station Wingfield under the SAAF, before being used as a Fleet Air Arm base by the Royal Navy. After World War II, the aerodrome reverted to being the municipal airport for a while. The history of Wingfield is synonymous with the history of flight in South Africa, including pioneering attempts at commercial aviation.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Wingfield Aerodrome was eers die Kaapstadse Munisipale lughawe, daarna Lugmagstasie Wingfield onder die SALM, voordat dit as 'n Fleet Air Arm-basis deur die Britse Vloot (Royal Navy) gebruik is. Na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog het die vliegveld vir 'n rukkie teruggekeer na 'n munisipale lughawe. Die geskiedenis van Wingfield is sinoniem met die geskiedenis van lugvaart in Suid-Afrika, insluitend baanbrekerspogings tot kommersiële lugvaart.
