treadigraph, the SA goonies were undoubtedly Basler (PT6) conversions.
AFAIK there were but 4 Dart-powered ones: an RAF Dakota in 1947, the two aforementioned BEA ones and Jack Conroy's N4700C. There was also a Mamba-powered one (RAF) which was restored to PWs and demobbed. I don't have the RAF serials, but I'm sure they will be instantly forthcoming....
Edited to add: also N156WC, but that was a C-117/R4D-8.
