Marksman conversion #5 of just eight, a true gem saved by the Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers owners from further decay at the SAAF Museum, that lacked funding for this non-air force aircraft. High-speed civil executive Invader conversion, pressurized and fitted with DC-6 flat windshields and cockpit side windows. Originally A-26B 44-34567, to N9412Z in 1960 with On Mark Engineering at Van Nuys, CA. As ZS-CVD to the Iron & Steel Industrial Corporation (ISCOR), 1962 to 1976. To the SAAF Museum in 1977 after engines had been sold separately. Brought here in 2010 and reassembled in 2018, still in the same livery as with ISCOR.
