VP-KJS Douglas
DC-3
(c/n 16463/33211)
To replace its Lodestars, EAAC acquired a dozen or so
ex-RAF Dakotas in the late 1940s/
early 1950s.
VP-KJS was a late model Dakota IV, not issued until 1945, so when EAAC
got
it in 1950 it was probably a very
low hours machine. When Kenya became independent it was
re-registered
5X-AAR. It went to Air Malawi in 1966 as 7Q-YQN and then to
Air Cape Ltd
at Cape Town as ZS-EYN in
1970.
