Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center

Geocache Description:

This part of Benoni is known as airfield because during World War II, the South African Airforce trained the war pilots in Benoni. In honour of this, all the street names in this area were named aeronautically. This geocache series gives a brief explanation of the various planes and places in flying after which these roads were named as well as a photo of the plane focussed on. BYOP for all caches, beware of muggles and please replace with care. Happy hunting!!
