C-47 Help Thread 2014

Hi Tony
I already have them pics.
Iam after G-BHUB in full Spanish Airforce livery or just as she arrived at Duxford.

Plus any others that came to the UK.

Thankyou for the photos Cestrian.
Did you find any photo’s of G-BHUB ??

Not sure of the exact date.I used the printed date on the Kodachrome slide which only gives the month and year it was developed. I do have a slide of G-BHUB somewhere but not taken at the same time as these two.I’ll try to find it tomorrow.

Thankyou are they taken on the 25th ??

Did you catch G-BHUB ??

I hope these help a little

Any of the above are wanted either with Spanish Airforce or after or the last serial can anyone help ??

Iam after help on the former Spanish Airforce C-47’s that came to the UK and flew off to USA etc

I know G-BHUB is preserved in the IWM Museum at Duxford
and G-BGCG but last regd N5595T is stored at Hatch (Any photo’s of her in the Shed at Hatch so much wanted as this has never been photographed)

Yes I have the DC-3 Production book but need more pics to fill my spots.

Can anyone help ???

Please no silly comments
Hope you can help

Ive got a photograph of T3-48 when it passed through Southend in the 70’s. Its also carrying a delivery reg of N86451but is primarily still in Spanish A.F markings. Pm me with your e mail address if you would like a copy sent. Its a bit grainy-typical of prints of the day!(At least mine anyway!)

Hi Dakotaman

Former Spanish Air Force T3.61 (RAF FL517) has it’s own website at www.dakotarestoration.com

The website has a good history and the cockpit is currently being restored in Wiltshire.

I am trying to find pictures of FL515, which was lost in an accident off Cornwall in 1943. This is proving difficult, being as the squadron was not (at that time) full of glamourous aircraft.

Good luck with your quest
