The article at the link below is not about a specific aircraft, but it may represent a "wake up call" for many of us in the flight test world regarding "passing the torch". It is not just about South Africa. A similar dilemma has been facing NASA over recent decades as the ability to do truly complex flight testing of advanced research aircraft has become more and more difficult to maintain.
I would consider this article a "must read".
