Classic lines of an original Mirage in camouflage colours inherited from France. The reconnaisance version of Dassault's delta was introduced by the SAAF in 1967. C/n something of a mystery but given by one source as 4F-4A

Growing up in Southend when the Carvair was still an everyday sight, it was great to catch up with one of the two survivors, the last of 21 built. I remember seeing her being converted from DC-4 VH-INM in ATEL's hangar in 1968. Resuming service with Ansett-ANA, she later went to Nationwide in NZ and Hawaii Pacific Air before going to S Africa in 1996. Bought by Phoebus in 2002 ('Exclusive' titling was from a cigarette brand) and last flew JNB-QRA 25.6.05. Engines recently refitted and not looking too bad but has remained for sale in increasingly poor condition

Hard to imagine this DC-6 in its glory days with Tasman Empire Airways and Pacific Western Airlines amongst others. Now carrying "Vusumzi - I Am, We Are" titles, Vusumzi apparently means "one who restores and builds the family". It has 'A Step Ahead' and 'Odysseus' titles on the other side under the fire practice scorch marks. The (ex) Westwind in front is (was) N89XL

There was an Air Malawi B733 wfu at the Safair hangar but it was good to see the old 200 series still going strong. Acquired from LAM (C9-BAI) in 10.09 and first operated by Midway then Aravco and Nacional (Brazil). Became ZS-SVT of Star Air Cargo in 2.12

Nicknamed "Spotty" for obvious reasons, this is one of 38 Cheetah C variants which constituted South Africa's only fighters until superceded by the JAS39 Gripen in 2008. Ecuador will now be the only country flying this Mirage-derived design, taking 12 ex-SAAF examples
