Excellent, well spotted.
I wonder how long before someone does the amazing Air Namibia scheme with the huge lion on the fin?
I flew in that same aircraft, when it was in SAA's main fleet, back from Cape Town to Frankfurt non-stop. This was back in the apartheid days when SAA had to fly all the way round the bulge of Africa, thus the use of the SP. It was the first flight I'd ever made where they showed two films! I rceall the food was outstanding too, but even the Economy seats were like Business Class on today's flights. Happy days, apart from the politics down there at the time. :k:

Yep. Comparatively rare in relation to the Pratt and Whitneys. The only airline to order them was Qantas I think.. they are still floating around as rich prince's private jets somewhere lol.
