Photo Comment

The South African Air Force purchased 12 used Caravans. ZS-MEF was delivered 26 October 1988 and entered service with 41 Sqd. 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 as 3004 at Langebaanweg 3 March 2016. Registered N9699F prior to delivery. Photographer unknown
