Sad . Another iconic Operator staring at the abyss."Springbok______" on the airways and waves will be missed. Always remember when they took a full page ad in the back of Flight Mag seeking DEFO for 747 Didn't need to be type rated.. There was queue from Slough to Joberg. List was long & distinguished and being right at the bottom, I never got past the starting gate. Know a few who did , enjoyed , but all returned home.
