Built in 1958 and sold to Trek Airways as ZS-DVJ in 1964. In 1967 it was painted in Luxair livery as LX-LGX and operated non-stop flights between Europe and South Africa to get around Apartheid related sanctions. Retired in 1969 then used as a tourist attraction at a resort, in Trek livery, until it was acquired by the SAA Museum in 1988 and put on display at Rand Airport.
