Description
Although the DC-6 variants were common visitors to Palmietfontein Airport and to Jan Smuts Airport in the early post war years, they were being operated by KLM, PAA, SAS, Sabena, British Caledonian, Alitalia and others. South African Airways did not operate the DC-6 and opted for the Douglas DC-4 and Douglas DC-7B.
The only South African DC-6 operators were Avia Air Charter of Wonderboom which briefly operated two from Wonderboom Airport and Interocean Airways which operated from Lanseria Airport.
West Air Aviation and Namibian Commercial Aviation utilised DC-6s during the 1990s. Many more DC-6s, not on the South African register frequented local airfields such as Rand Airport and Lanseria Airport for maintenance. Many of these ended up in South Africa.
This is my rendition of a livery used by the DC-4 Outeniqua ZS-AUB

Small trivial fact: "suid afrikaanse lugdiens" is spelled as "zuid afrikaanse luchtdienst" in Dutch. ;-) Beautiful livery btw. Mooi!
