Now part of the South African Airways museum at Rand Airport, Lodestar ZS-ASN was previously housed at OR Tambo International in the care of the South African Airways Historic Flight. It flew its last service for the airline on 18th March 1955 and was subsequently used by the Aircraft Operating Company for aerial survey work throughout Africa, before undergoing restoration with the SAA apprentice school at what was then known as Jan Smuts International Airport.

Lebombo has the distinction of being the last DC-4 off the production line at Santa Monica, CA. Joining the SAA fleet in August 1947, she has spent her entire service life in South Africa. She was involved in a mid-air collision with an SAAF Harvard near Durban in June 1962, but landed safely. Four years later, she joined the SAAF where she served as 6904 with 44 Sqd until the DC-4 fleet was retired in 1991. The following year, SAA bought her back and restored her to former glory and she went on several air show tours the following years.

This formation shot of SAA's DC-3 and DC-4 is interesting for several reasons. Both aircraft spent their service lives with the South African Air Force and South African Airways. ZS-BXF was delivered to the SAAF (via the RAF as was usual for Lend-Lease aircraft) at Nassau becoming the first 6821 in December 1943. She passed to SAA as ZS-BXF in August 1948 before re-joining the SAAF in February 1971 as 6888. Finally passing to the SAA Historical Flight in May 1991. ZS-BMH was the last DC-4 built and delivered to SAA in August 1947, going to the SAAF in 1964 and back to SAA in 1992.

We arrived back at the aircraft well before our pre-agreed meeting time. It was cloudy during most of the airshow displays, but in the end of the afternoon, the sun finally showed its face. I think we walked around the aircraft freely for about 30-45 minutes, before we needed to get onboad for the flight back to O.R. Tambo.
