The South African contribution to the Korean War was 2 Sqd SAAF which initially operated F-51 Mustangs from Pusan AB. From January 1953, the Mustang was replaced with F-86F Sabres which the squadron operated on loan from the USAF until October that year when they were returned to the Americans. The experience was so good that the SAAF procured the Canadair Sabre Mk 6 with the first delivered in 1956. They served with the SAAF until 1980. Canadair Sabre 6 372 is displayed at the SAAF Museum at AFB Ysterplaat as 601/A of 2 Sqd as it would have looked in Korea.

No 2 Sqn SAAF served in Korea as part of the USAF's 18th Fighter Bomber Wing initially with Mustangs and from 1953 with F-86Fs. This photo is probably taken at K-55 Osan-Ni Air Base (now simply Osan) that year.
