Sorry CrazyCavia – I totally missed your thread!
All the best to crew and aircraft for a safe and smooth passage
any ideas to her new life?

I posted it in this thread: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=57283
But she is on the way and has left our Dutch base and is now in Wick, Scotland and should go to Reykjavik, Iceland before going to Greenland, Churchill, Iqaluit, Winnipeg, Grand Forks to finally arrive in Las Vegas.
The crew flying her is from the Dutch Historic Flight who normally operate the B-25 Sarinah.

Looks interesting, shame to lose a Dak though – lovely aircraft.
Slightly of topic but has anybody heard any rumours/info on her former partner in crime G-DAKK? Last I heard she was at Lee-on-Solent, but is she still run-up at all, cared for etc? Theres an old link of the ‘Fifi Kate’ weblog advertising her for sale at £150,000 but it seems very out of date and all the maintenance dates have now passed.
