Operated by Avia Airlines. This DC-6B led an illustrious life starting as CF-CZV with CP Air before moving to Scandinavia first with Transair as SE-BDG before going to Braathens SAFE as LN-SUT. Then she went to Greenlandair as OY-DRC. The last stop in Europe was with Air Atlantique as G-SIXB before heading for Southern Africa, first as 3D-ASA, then 3D-ASB with Air Swaziland, then to Interocean as C9-ASR. Later she became ZS-MUL with Avia, 9Q-CJE with Trans Service Airlift. She returned to South Africa as ZS-XXX where she is now a gate guard for Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers as ZS-MUL.

This DC-6 arrived here on 4 December 2010, landing spectacularly on a small dirt strip nextdoor. Great clips of its arrival can be found on YouTube. It is ex ZS-XXX, reregd to ZS-MUL on 29 October 2010, shortly before this delivery flight. It's now in use as an eye-catcher, and photos can be taken from outside the fence, for those arriving after closing time, like us. It has the logo of its owner Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers on the fin. The aircraft's name dates back to the late 1950s, when this aircraft served with Canadian Pacific Airlines as CF-CZV, and was named "Empress of Suva".
