The South African Air Force purchased 12 used Caravans. 3010 was delivered 9 October 1989 and entered service with 41 Sqd as ZS-MLP. The Caravan fleet was given military serials after the 1994 elections but retained their civilian colour schemes. With the unification of all armed forces into the South African National Defence Force, the Caravans were given a more unified military look with national insignia and squadron markings. Written off 24 February 1996 in the Natal Midlands. Registered N9736F prior to delivery. Photo: Ian Malcolm
