I think the arrival at Shannon on 12.9.05 was when it was en route to Dunsfold from Africa. Thanks for the info G-ASYD as this is an early Dak c/n 4363 and i thought it had left Dunsfold.

No, that belongs to Aces High ex North Weald. ZS-MRU arrived at Shannon ex Dunsfold on 12.9.05. It did appear in the background on “Top Gear” when “Stig” was racing. The Aces High Dakota is much darker and parked near to the Boeing 747.

Is this the Dak you see on Top Gear?
