Wet & Windy East Kirkby

[QUOTE=The Yokel;1321318]Evening all

Had a day at East Kirkby today. Appologies if this has been asked before but how long has a C47 been parked behind Just Jane in the hanger ? Andy/QUOTE]

THIS LINK (http://www.ruudleeuw.com/dc3-n5831b.htm ) MIGHT GIVE SOME VALUABLE INSIGHT INTO PATRICK (‘PADDY’) GREEN’s HISTORIC C.47 Reg’n N463DC (c/n 19345) “DRAG-EM-OOT” (ex N5831B /C-FKAZ/CF-KAZ (RAF / RCAF) TS422/ (USAAF) 42-100882).

As Andy (“nx611_1945” ) has added in another thread on this forum (http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=85967) the aircraft is being hangared at East Kirkby over the 2008/9 Winter period for annual maintenance checks etc. and expected to remain there until approx. March/April 2009 – so still plenty of time to get over there and admire this great addition (if only temporary!) to the LAHC collection.

I only wish that we could have had some pre-arrival information posted on the LAHC website to give more people the chance of seeing the ‘Dak’ fly in on Remembrance Sunday. Let’s hope we get a chance when she’s scheduled to depart – ‘ANDY P’ PLEASE NOTE !!!
