Well this is my first post on Key.
After work today I dropped in to Glasgow International to see the douglas dc3 PH-PBA which is on a Scottish tour visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen as part of KLM Celebrating 65 years of flying to Scotland.

as this is my first and hopefully not last time sharing my photos I would like your comments. are the photos too big. (I do know that my sensor does need cleaned)
I have been taking photos of aircraft since 2009 and been to diverse airports from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Madrid and Lisbon, and also Heathrow,Gatwick and many more european airports and will share some photos when I get time to upload..

Nice pictures of a beautiful aircraft!
This KLM livery is actually from the early sixties and not from 65 years ago.
This particular aircraft originally belonged to HRH Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands. A few years ago the PH-PBA reappeared in its original livery.
In the sixties this aircraft was used by the Netherlands CAA as a calibration aircraft in this livery:
Until last year the aircraft was painted in the KLM livery of the late forties and fifties (other side Air France):
And now the KLM livery of the early sixties and baptised Prinses Amalia.

Truly, a grand lady of the skies. The video is a real treat. Envisage a large apron in the 50s, and how many lovely and varied DC3 liveries that you would see.
