Photo Comment

Retired from operational flying in September 1995, shortly after this shot was taken. After a period of storage at Waterkloof it was restored to flight in 1999 for the SAAF Historic Flight becoming ZU-DMD and wearing the famous 'Skydancer' colours of the South African Flag. Problems with spare parts and funding have long since grounded the aircraft but it remains in storage at Hoedspruit.
