South African Airways Museum Society, Aviation museum at Rand Airport in Germiston, South Africa.

The South African Airways Museum Society sits at Rand Airport and displays a collection of aircraft, including two Boeing 747s, along with aviation memorabilia and scale models. The exhibits allow visitors to see these planes up close and learn about their role in aviation history.

The organization was founded in 1986 by South African Airways employees, following the airline's acquisition of a Junkers Ju 52 aircraft in 1981. These early acquisitions formed the foundation for preserving historic aircraft for future generations.

The museum's gallery holds South African Airways uniforms, photographs, brochures, advertising posters and aircraft scale models. The two Boeing 747s, Lebombo and Maluti, appeared in the film Invictus and other productions, which were shot around and on board the aircraft.

The museum sits on the airport grounds and is best explored on foot, with direct access to the large aircraft on display. Visitors should allow plenty of time to see the different areas and step inside some of the planes.

The Boeing 747-244 named 'Lebombo' landed at Rand Airport on 5 March 2004 without using reverse thrust, on a runway only 15 metres wide and 1,712 metres long at 1,671 metres altitude. Scenes from the film Invictus were shot around and inside the museum's 747s.
