During the Rhodesian and Border Wars, the South African Air Force kept a low profile with no national markings. The last number(s) of the serial were stenciled on the nose. This is 6859 a Dakota that was delivered to the RAF in March 1944. The following year 6859 went to the SAAF where she was active with 28, 44 and 60 Sqds for 49 years. In 1994 she was transferred to the SAAF Museum in flying condition. Here seen landing at Phalaborwa in the then Transvaal (now Limpopo), home to the 7th South African Infantry Battalion.
