DC3 Colours

Thanks Alan,

I think it was permanently assigned to them. It was ferrying troops from Istres to Grove for R and R. I have been given wreckage by a farmer who collected it at the time, but he was not sure if it was from that or from a 617 Lancaster as they came down close to each other. The colours are brown and green

Thank you

Adam

Probably plain olive upper surfaces and light grey lower surfaces, in line with other USAAF units operating C-47s. Are we talking aircraft which were permanently assigned to the 27th ATG or those they were ferrying?
