SAAF Oryx 1247/UN 826 on the ramp at Goma airport, DRC on Saturday morning.

On 2 Feb 2024, about 25 km north of Goma, she was hit over 40 times whilst performing a medical evac, resulting in injury to the commander and a medic in the cabin . She has yet to be returned to SA for repair.

Pity that it was not repatriated to SA with the Rooivalks.

A year later and nothing has been done to repair her!
