Last DC3 Flight


By Dave Vermaak

This historical photograph might still be of interest to survivors of those glorious days!.

It was taken at Salisbury Airport to mark the arrival of the last scheduled DC3 flight on the route Bulawayo - Gwelo - Salisbury on 31.10.1973.

Regrettably I can't identify the engineer on the wing but on terra firma with the crew l. to r. Dave Vermaak ( Sales Manager ) F/O Hugh Travers, A/H Anne Cambell, Capt. Johnny Fox and Ray Weeden ( Commercial Manager ).

My brother sent this
photo to me as I was flying back then. I dont think that the A/H was Jean Dodd. I am sure it was Ann Campbell.
