Can anyone confirm:
"Dakelton"
Douglas DC-3
After the SAAF retired its Shackletons, a number of Dakotas were used in the maritime patrol role.

Aircraft: Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) For all of the last decade the Navy has had a need for a MPA.

The reason for this is a continued reluctance on the part of the SAAF to take the requirement seriously. The Navy has had similar problems securing maritime helicopters for its patrol frigates. Fate may yet take a hand…

I'm more interested in getting corroboration whether they're nicknamed "Dakeltons"
