The former WJ617 was built in 1954 and transferred from the RAF to South Africa in 1964. Final flight in March 1989 and preserved at this base since 1996. Sadly, protecting it from the elements has led to the painting over of all markings. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
