About This File
FS2004 South African Airways Douglas C-47, circa 1960. At the end of the war a number of ex-SAAF C-47 aircraft were transferred to South African Airways. They were soundproofed, fitted out for airline service and appointed as twenty-one seater aircraft. Although built as C-47's, in their civil guise they were known as the DC-3. A total of eight DC-3's served with SAA, the last being withdrawn in 1970. This Douglas C-47A-1-DK C/N 12049 was transferred from the SAAF in 1949 and was registered as ZS-BXG and given the name 'Piketberg'. It was transferred back to the SAAF in 1971 as 6887.
