| Douglas C47 (DC3) Dakota ZA947 was manufactured in March 1942 and initially issued to the United States Army Air Force. In September that year the aircraft was transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and served mainly in Canada but was latterly used in Europe until declared surplus to requirements in 1971. http://www.deltaweb.co.uk/bbmf/othertypes.html | |

| Notice how in the video of the DC6 he refers to the great sound of the DC6 and promptly talks over it!
I love these planes too and will try to find some more clips like this. | |

| Spit doc from 1976
Clip from Spit doc from 1976. Shown by BBC upon recent anniversary.
Sorry no joy uploading last night or this morning - will try later.
I am getting really fed up with this - I tried again this morning and same:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 50331648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 22882871 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/ww2aircraft.net/httpdocs/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 1762
it's a 20 meg wmv file which usually works.
