I'll applaud all three of you for your diligent hunting!

Indeed it was SAAF SA-321L Super Frelon "314", with her airliner size cockpit, now spending her retirement at AFB Ysterplaat, Cape Town....the radio BTW was tuned to 124.80, Cape Town Special Rules East

The museum still holds regular public weekend open days and indeed I was there just a couple of Saturdays ago, with the super volunteers indulging us with their intimate knowledge of the many machines, their on-going restoration targets and allowing is to crawl all over them......sitting in Shackleton "722" amidships was a highlight. There is a promise of a Shackleton engine start up on 24th Sept, and if it happens, I shall record and relay

I can confirm the front tyre is now properly pumped up!
