You can add N1944A/43-15211 to that list too as she’s down to attend crew/weather/serviceability permitting 😉

Hello folks,

As the C-47 is a military aircraft, for it to go onto the N-reg (Civil) it has to be called a DC3C-S1C3G or some such like.

It was a great day, I managed to go on Sunday, the weather actually behaved, the re-enactors really set the scene and it was really great to get the old girl back to her original field, needless to say the comments on the Youtube take-off videos summed up the general feeling 😉

The aircraft was a C-47 prior to being entered on the N-reg, she was the mount of 92nd TCS C.O. Maj. Cecil Petty which are the markings she wears today.

The lads flew her home to Oxford on Tuesday afternoon.

Ok, Ok, I’m here Yak11Fan!

C-47 is off to Fairford for the weekend and the Spit is going great guns, 10″ wheels and brakes started to go on today not to mention trying to fix a few Stearman snags.

I had a quick look for the paint specs after work and will PM gallen with the results when I find them though I’m nigh on certain they were RLM colours from memory. Cheers.

Tom

She last flew in April 2001 if my memory works that far back 😉

Mark,

At present we’re just storing it. No future plans have been made as yet though the 11 was sent on her way to Hungary last friday by road.

Tom

😀 Well done mate, you had a cracking day for it too, I’ll wager that a beer or two was in order that evening 😉
