Seen outside the Dickie Fritz Shellhole in Edenvale in the East Rand just outside Johannesburg, this Ventura was delivered to the US Navy as 34759 and then given the RAF serial FP607. It never served with the RAF, but was transferred directly to the SAAF where it served in various roles including as an instructional airframe. Put on display during the 1980s at the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) Dickie Fritz Shellhole, so named after two friends Dickie Dashwood and Fritz von Linsingen who were killed in the Battle of Bardia in the North African Campaign of World War 2.

The Imperial War Museum says following service with the Telecommunications Flying Unit and the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment, FN957 was assigned to the South African Air Force. The Australian website ADF Serials lists FN957 as operated by 429 Sqn, RAAF, which was based in the eastern Mediterranean. The consistency is both put the aircraft into the same theatre of war. FN957 was struck off charge by the RAF in 1946. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The source says: 'Flight of Lockheed Venturas from Emirau, May 1943.' However, these PV-2 airframes did not enter RNZAF service in the Pacific theatre until 1944. They did not apparently receive a British Mk designation.

Built as US Navy 33249, a Ventura that went to the Royal Canadian Air Force with serial 2180. Struck off strength in 1950, the aircraft was stored at Vulcan, AB in November 1951. Sold to Universal Trading Corp in 1954, it was acquired by Dee Howard in 1954 (N1212). Converted to a Super Ventura in 1956, it was a precursor of luxury biz-jets that appeared twenty years later. Pictured when owned by television evangelist Rex Humbard's Cathedral of Tomorrow church, it had been re-registered N4005 in September 1967.

Built as US Navy 33249, a Ventura that went to the Royal Canadian Air Force with serial 2180. Struck off strength in 1950, the aircraft was stored at Vulcan, AB in November 1951. Sold to Universal Trading Corp in 1954, it was acquired by Dee Howard in 1954 (N1212). Converted to a Super Ventura in 1956, it was a precursor of luxury biz-jets that appeared twenty years later. Pictured when owned by television evangelist Rex Humbard's Cathedral of Tomorrow church, it had been re-registered N4005 in September 1967.

The aircraft had been was impounded at SAT by the US Customs Air Support Unit. From April 1969 to December 1971 the aircraft had been owned by the Sealy Mattress Co. of Ohio, and the significance of the registration was that 593 was Sealy company's PO Box Number, and EW were the initials of Ernest Wuliger, the President and CEO. It was last reported stored in Georgia in 1988 and it was deleted from the US register in April 2013.

Now undercover at the QAM, Ventura A59-96 survived the war to become a chicken coup. When taken on by the QAM it was little more than a fuselage. After many years of work the aircraft is now mostly together and represents a type of which only two survived RAAF service.

Pictured when it was flying freight for Soundair, this Howard 500 was originally built as Lockheed Ventura Bu 34903. It was allocated to the Royal Air Force but instead diverted to the South African Air Force as 6488. Stored after a crash for some time, it was sold to Howard Aero in 1959. Re-built and operated civilly, the aircraft was converted to a Howard 500 in 1964. Only with Soundair for a year, the last owner was the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston, TX. It was substantially damaged during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
