VP-KJS
16463/33211
To replace the Lockheed Lodestar aircraft, East African Airways, EAAC, acquired a number of ex RAF Dakotas in the late 1940s and 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 in Cape Town as ZS-EYN in 1970.
