AccidentThe aircraft was on a flight from AFB Waterkloof to Mthatha Airport when it crashed near Giant's Castle in the Drakensburg Mountains, killing all eleven people on board.[1] Shortly before the crash at 09:45 hours South African Standard Time (07:45 UTC),[2] the crew reported that they were flying on instruments at {{convert|11000|ft|m}} in instrument meteorological conditions. On board were six crew and five passengers.[3] Former South African President Nelson Mandela's medical team were initially reported to have been on board the aircraft,[1] but this was later found not to be the case.[2] An initial search by an Atlas Oryx helicopter had to be abandoned due to poor visibility.[3] AircraftThe aircraft involved was Douglas C-47TP, tail number 6840, c/n 13866.[1][3] It had been built in 1943 as 43-48050 for the United States Army Air Forces and was transferred to the Royal Air Force in 1944 as KG767 before being immediately transferred to the South African Air Force as 6840. In the early 1990s, the aircraft was modified with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT-6A turboprop engines and a fuselage extension. Based at AFB Ysterplaat, Cape Town, it was mainly used in the maritime patrol role but also acted as a support aircraft for the Silver Falcons display team.[4] InvestigationA Board of Inquiry was convened by the South African Air Force to investigate the cause of the accident.[5] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/eastern-cape/plane-wreckage-found-in-drakensberg-1.1436353 |title=Plane wreckage found in Drakensberg |first1=Benita |last1=Enoch |first2=Yusuf |last2=Moolla |first3=Mogomotsi |last3=Magome |publisher=IOL News |date=6 December 2012 |accessdate=4 February 2013}} {{Aviation accidents and incidents in 2012}}{{Portal bar|Aviation|Death|South Africa|2010s}}{{DEFAULTSORT:South African Air Force C-47 crash, 2012}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.sabreakingnews.co.za/2012/12/names-of-drakensberg-plane-crash-victims-released/ |title=NAMES OF DRAKENSBERG PLANE CRASH VICTIMS RELEASED |publisher=SA Breaking News |date=6 December 2012 |accessdate=4 February 2013}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20121205-0 |title=6840 Accident description |publisher=Aviation Safety Network |accessdate=4 February 2013}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite journal|title=Dakota tragedy in SA |journal=Aeroplane |issue=March 2013 |page=14 |publisher=Kelsey Publishing |location=Cudham |ISSN=0143-7240}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/11-killed-in-south-african-air-force-c-47-dakota-crash-379897/ |title=11 killed in South African Air Force C-47 Dakota crash |first=Dave |last=Majumdar |publisher=Flight International |date=6 December 2012 |accessdate=4 February 2013}} 5 : Aviation accidents and incidents in 2012|Aviation accidents and incidents in South Africa|2012 in South Africa|South African Air Force|December 2012 events |
