Re: Excellent photos
^ It looks as though the long retired '40 something' year old F-28s in the background are clambering to see the 80 year old DC-3 that's still hard at work. I love it!

Re: Excellent photos
Liberated alllied POW's?
Regardless, being able to trace back a particular aircraft, or even better yet, being able to fly an aircraft of which you have a picture of in action 50, 60 or so plus years is a "thrill" to say the least. I often wish my "bird" could "talk"... *sigh*
All the best,

Re: Excellent photos
Sorry, here is the text I should have put with that photo:
512 Squadron Dakota Mk III, HC-AT (RAF Serial No. KG330), lands at the Brussels Airport to repatriate Belgian nationals from Germany—both slave labourers and former concentration camp inmates. This 512 Squadron aircraft brought in the infantry and airborne commandos that fought to free them and then brought them back home—an honourable history if there ever was one. And in an unlikely coincidence, KG330 is still flying today from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canadian registered as C-GWXZS and a television star flying for the cameras for the hit reality series Ice Pilots NWT. KG330 also flew paratroopers on D-Day, but Southgate’s logbook indicated that he did not fly KG330, but he flew the next in line, KG331. Photo: Imperial War Museum

Re: Excellent photos
Ha. I have a pic just like this in the early '90s. FK didn't know I was at the end taking a pic and the crew rotated late, he saw this. He wanted to see the manifest with the weights, he thought they were overloaded.BKerns wrote:Hawker taking off in YPL
