On lease to Lesotho Airways from Comair. ZS-FRM first flew in 1946 and was built uncompleted C-117 parts. She joined Det Danske Luftfartsselskab as OY-DCU and was named "Ulf Viking", a name she continued to carry when DDL became a constituent member of SAS. She went to Linjeflyg as SE-CFU and later Austrian as OE-LBN. Moving to South Africa, she joined Comair's fleet in 1968. She ended her life in Africa serving in Zimbabwe as Z-WRU and later Kenya as 5Y-BIL. In the late 1990s she was damaged in Nairobi and written off.
