as I understand it, the Dak was donated to the Glider project, which is a volunteer/civvie outfit, rather than RAF Shawbury… presumably the aim of the project is to get the finished a/c out on show to the public as a memorial to the crews involved, therefore needs to be at somewhere accesable – eveyone seems to be suggesting Cosford at the moment as a suitable site…

Neil.

The Dak is one of Air Atlantique’s and was donated to Shawbury, so why should it moved to Cosford, when they already have KN645?
