Having completed a poppy drop in Yorkshire a C47 arrived on Sunday at RAF Lossiemouth for a winter lay up. Owner is quoted as Paddy Green,Marked in D Day stripes. Can anyone provide an ident?

C47 at Lossie
The local connection is that Edward Brothers aviation is now based about 30 miles from RAF Lossiemouth,and they have been maintaining this important survivor.Lossiemouth is their nearest active airfield.
What surprised me during a trawl of the FAA database was many of the USA registered population of C47 and DC3 are registered….624. A fair number in Florida on mosquito control.

I think it is N473DC ex N5831B. It flew near me on Sunday at North Berwick. Didnt want to fly too close.
