This is a fuselage section from a C47/DC-3 – which was cut up in Austria (possibly Innsbruck) a few years ago.
I was told that the cockpit section came back to the UK.
Also that potentially that the aircraft was a Berlin Airlift veteran.
Given the limited amount of data – can anyone suggest a serial number and history for the aircraft ?

I think the cockpit went to a collector in the Wiltshire area
