Carte Blanche meets the team behind Aeroswift, which is 3D printing titanium aeroplane parts \u2013 and AHRLAC, the locally designed and developed plane flying them.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Laura Byrne<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Presenter: Claire Mawisa<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carteblanche.dstv.com\/coming-up-aeroswift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the trailer<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Report Card: FNB Heists<\/h3>\n<p>In February this year, robbers raided several FNB bank vaults making off with assets worth hundreds of millions of rands.
