Photo Comment
This Harvard was delivered to the SAAF in 1942 where it served until it went to the Portugese Air Force for use in Africa as 1554 in 1969. Registered G-BGOU in January 1985 and painted in an SAAF livery. The Springbok roundel is incorrect both in size and colour, but represents the 1950s SAAF roundel. The squadron badge is that of Esk 8 Sqd. It was written off 7 September 1985 at Bourn, England. Photographer unknown This photo was added on 1 December 2024, and has since been viewed 2076 times.
