Lockheed Lodestar in the South African Airways museum at Rand Airport

Originally delivered to South African Airways in march 1946 as ZS-AUA. Now parked in the compound of the airlines'museum at Rand. A Dutch team is working on getting this DC-4 back to the Netherlands.

First registered in June 1960 as ZS-CPF, became ZS-ITZ on 16 May 1972. Only one month after this photo was taken, on 21 April 1992, it burnt out while parked at Krugersdorp, reportedly because someone had put a cloth in the fuel tank and set it on fire.

Has been parked in the SAA Museum compound between two 747s since late 2006, with a false 5H- reg on the other side. Had been stored at Rand since 1997

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
