Guns,

Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories of SAA in the 70s. Back in 1971/2 (memory is fading!!!) I remember standing on the roof of the then New Flying Building with Gerry Du Toit, and others (Doug McKellar, Ken Pain ++ if the memory banks recall correctly) to watch Lebombo’s 1st landing. Although ZS –SAL pre- registered her Lebombo was the 1st 742 delivered.

Ironical that 33 years later Gerry was on the final flight.

Still prefer her with the Flying Goat on the fin though!
