Douglas C47 Dakota 'R7053' of No.3 Squadron of the Rhodesian Air Force Breaking over the tower at Salisbury Airport, August 1971.

This aircraft is still wearing its full markings with registration, note roundels on the wings. This aircraft is recorded as being an ex-Royal Air Force aircraft, 'KP245', another book says 'KN385' delivered to the Southern Rhodesian Air Force in 1955 as 'SR155', a further book says that this aircraft was 'SR154, (take your pick!) later Royal Rhodesian Air Force 'RRAF154' then becoming 'RRAF705' before the final change to 'R7053'. Later this aircraft would be fully camouflaged with no national markings.
