This DC-6 was preserved at the SAAF Museum at Swartkop from 1998 until sold to Peter Bauman circa Nov 2005, but it remained stored here at Swartkop. This DC-6 was re-sold to Witold Walus (owner of Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers) in 2008, and in 2010 work was started to restore it to flying condition, for one flight only. It was registered as ZS-MUL on 29 Oct 2010, and on 4 Dec 2010 the Six made its last flight, from Swartkop to a small airstrip at the owner's site near Wallmannsthal, South Africa. It was still preserved there by June 2021.

Faded serial 6112 and yellow "AR" still visible on rear fuselage. Also still has '42' (last two of the c/n) on the nose. The SAAF Museum salvaged this Ventura from a farm near Saxonwold, South Africa in early 1976. It was trucked to AFB Snake Valley, Pretoria for storage and restoration. In 1994 the Ventura was moved to AFB Swartkop and displayed as seen here. It was still there by June 2021.

Faded serial 6112 and yellow "AR" still visible on rear fuselage. Also still has '42' (last two of the c/n) on the nose. The SAAF Museum salvaged this Ventura from a farm near Saxonwold, South Africa in early 1976. It was trucked to AFB Snake Valley, Pretoria for storage and restoration. In 1994 the Ventura was moved to AFB Swartkop and displayed as seen here. It was still there by June 2021.

Ex ZS-ATL, and preserved at the SAAF museum in SAAF markings without serial since 1983. This aircraft never flew for the SAAF. It was delivered to the South African government in Aug 1941 as ZS-ATL, and served as a VIP aircraft for General Jan C. Smuts during WW2. Was transferred to South African Airways circa 1946, still as ZS-ATL. Sold to Commercial Airways (later Comair) in Dec 1955. The Lodestar's last flight was on 25 Nov 1968, and donated to the SAA Technical School at Johannesburg in 1974 for instructional use. Transferred to the SAAF Museum on 20 Apr 1983.
