EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Junkers Ju52/3mge aircraft, registration number ZS-AFD, affectionately named Sir Benjamin Durban. The Junkers Ju52, also known as the "Tiger," is a legendary fixed-wing transport aircraft that first flew in 1932. This particular aircraft, operated by the South African Airways, played a significant role in the country's aviation history. Sir Benjamin Durban, with its distinctive green and white livery, is seen here taxing on the runway, ready for its next journey. The Ju52/3mge is a military variant of the original Ju52, featuring improved performance and additional defensive armament. Despite its military origins, this aircraft was widely used for civilian transport and humanitarian missions, making it a versatile and beloved aircraft in South Africa and around the world. The Ju52/3mge's robust design and reliability made it an ideal choice for operating in the challenging conditions of Africa. Its large cargo hold could accommodate passengers, livestock, and cargo, making it an essential link in the transportation network of the vast and diverse African continent. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Junkers Ju52/3mge and its role in South African aviation history. Sir Benjamin Durban, with its proud history and distinctive appearance, continues to capture the imagination and admiration of aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
