Douglas DC-4 flight, South Africa

Only two DC-4s are in passenger service anywhere in the world. Both are based at Rand airport, Johannesburg, along with four which are not operational.

Here are 31 photos, including a 15 minute hop from Rand to Waterkloof, near Pretoria:

I was lucky to get a scheduled DC-4 flight with Air North from Dawson to Whitehorse as part of a flight back to UK... probably around 25 years ago... if i recall they had two or three DC-4s in use.

 

I have added two more South African aviation albums which may be of interest.

Here are 59 photos of preserved British aircraft, including two Shackletons:

And here are 21 photos of German aircraft of WW2, including the only surviving Messerschmitt ME-262 night fighter:
