Ps I will try and find the photo.

I think you’ll find this was Sea Venom FAW.53 N4-930 (formerly WZ930).

It’s not sitting outside on the airport any more. In fact, I don’t think it’s sitting on the airfield at all anymore. I certainly never saw it in the years I worked there and seem to remember it had been sold some years before.

[QUOTE=Newforest;1854144]Those are the two (you could have kept Anon in suspense a little longer :D).

Sorry Newforest, hadn’t seen your post yet 😉

I remembered the colours from 1987 when my father was involved in the rescue of another DC-3 from Malta that was initially bought for the engines, but was in such a good condition it was flown out and restored to fly.

Conoco colour scheme. I would suggest N535M or N565 which both ended up at Malta but there may have been more.

Meanwhile in Holland:
PH-NEM (ex OK-DKI) imported 1952 and written off at Teuge 1963 in a take-off accident injuring the pilot.
PH-NFK (ex OK-EKC) imported 1954 and withdrawn from use 1968. Spent some years as a plaything in a playground at Haastrecht but was then broken up in the early seventies.
