They were chartered for a PR event for a WWII computer game called Company of Heroes (based on the D Day landings). They flew out on (I think the tuesday) and came back on the friday. On the way back they flew in a very tight formation with a spitfire (in between the 2 Dak’s). My mate writes for PC Gamer and was on one of Dakotas, whilst not really an enthusiast he seemed pretty impressed. He had a couple of fairly impressive pictures which I must pester him for.

Reported cost £90,000.
