DC 3 Pictures

Very Sad pics

I won’t post them here since there are so many, but……..

At http://rides.webshots.com/album/562875102vMooIh I have a pictorial essay of a visit to Ryan Field, AZ in 1974

Some of these no doubt flew away, and many had already done so, but those remaining showed a vast variety of types and markings

Pretty mundane sort of picture, but I took it from the cab of an S26 refueller on my way to one of my very last refuelling tasks at St Mawgan.

I’ve noticed a lot of photo’s of N5831B both in the air and on the ground, Thought I’d post a couple that where taken while She was down at Liverpool Airport:

I believe it’s off to Colchester.

Took a trip to Aldershot where the DC 3 is being disassembled.

Where’s the DC3 going?

Heathrow in the 1950s

Not the greatest photo ever, even after Photoshop has done its best, but nostalgic anyway. It’s definitely Heathrow, but I can only guess at the date – around 1958.

Old and scruffy and black and white but DC-3s !

Uiver is a DC-2 :)….but very nice!

Another Dutch contribution.. (we like Daks too….)

During its arrival at Brunters:
