About This File
FS2004 South African Air Force Sikorsky S-51, c/n 51-102. Delivered in 1948 to SAAF 12 Squadron. A1 crashed at Mtubatuba in October 1950, was repaired and later transferred to 17 Squadron at Ysterplaat in December 1957. It was sold in 1964 as ZS-HBT and scrapped some years later. A scrap yard in Cape Town offered the aircraft to the SAAF Museum in 1976, whereupon it was restored to static display at the South African Air Force Museum at AFB Swartkop. These are texture files only. Prior installation of Greg Pepper's Sikorsky S-51 is required. Repaint by Andre Reimers.
