At the height of the Border War and the UN sanctions against South Africa, SAA Air Cargo painted ZS-SAH in this very discrete and anonymous colour scheme to minimize all connection to the RSA. The registration is black on dark blue and almost invisible. The aircraft flew all over Europe and parts of Africa.

In 1972 British Midland Airways bought the entire South African Airways Viscount fleet including spare parts and a simulator. This is the former ZS-CDZ captured at then Jan Smuts International still in the basic SAA livery but without titles. It carries the registration G-AZLW. This registration was reserved but not taken. ZS-CDZ became G-AZNC. G-AZLW was a former Aerolinas Argentinas Comet 4 that Dan-Air bought for spares.
