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. Photographer unknown

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. Photographer unknown

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.

About a week and a half before our departure to South Africa, we found out that Skyclass would operate their DC-4 from O.R. Tambo to the airshow Swartkop AFB. About 1,5h after finding out, our seats were booked and we ended up being able to reserve seats 1A and 2A, which was right where we hoped to be. As we approached the airfield, we made a low pass before circling to land. Outside you can see the flightline and a lot of early visitors. Photo taken from seat 2A.

South African offered a very special deal, round trip Rand to Wonderboom Airshow on their DC-4, flying different airframes on the two legs. The reason why I could not make the photos with the props turning was because I was on board!
