Hi
My first thoughts were DC3 india 42 to,
then to I thought DC2, but isn’t a DC 2 a smaller fuselage,
although admittedly the small hatch is right for a DC2 , but the dorsal fin is ‘DC3 ish’.
I wondered if it was an ex dutch/belgian/airliner acquired by the RAF and repainted and then left..
Must admitt I am no ‘DC’ expert,
Hoping to find one here.
Wonder if it ever flew in luftwaffe markings, I imagine in may 40 , they could still have bought parts from the US to fix it.
Cheers

Hmm..
Wonder if it’s the DC2 AX755 of No.31 Sqn which was abandoned at Akyab.

IIRC the RAF didn’t recieve it’s first Dakotas (in India) until 1942….?
