According to South African media, on 5th December a C47TP crashed in a mountainous region near Nelson Mandelas residence, with 11 fatalities and nil survivors. I didn't realise that the South African Air Force was still flying the C47. According to Wikipedia they operate nine and all have been converted to turboprop (C47TP). |

Sad news. I wonder if any of the ex-RNZAF ones that went there are still flying with them?
