Harvard 7059 "Nellie" arrives at FASH



No 7059 or "Nellie" of the Harvard Club of South Africa arrived at FASH yesterday.

She's painted in blue, white and gold SAAF 75 anniversary paint scheme and also carries the SAAF 80 logo on the tail. Harvard 7059 is named after the wife of Gen James Kriel which was CAF at the time.

The Harvards where first delivered to the SAAF in late 1943. The standard SAAF colour scheme was silver all over; with day-glo orange bands on the nose cowling, tail section, and wings - contrasted by dark sea grey upper wing surfaces.

She will be operated from FASH (Stellenbosch airfield) on behalf of the Harvard Club of South Africa.
