Doesn’t appear to be. She was re-registered to new owners in Montana on May 17th.

N341A got as far as Winnipeg last night.

When I was working for Caledonian [sic] there, Air Ulster had a daily scheduled service between there and Belfast, with DC-3s ISTR it was mixed passenger and freight, to connect with the Air Canada, PanAm and BOAC schedules to Canada/US. It was a long time ago ..

Emerald Airways was doing the same in '67 using EI-APJ and G-AMWV. Air traffickers would get the old gash ride via Scottish Express, the handling agent. Turn-round was about 15-20 minutes.

A Dak and a Catalina have just arrived in Wick - the Dak heading south tomorrow and the Catalina going the other way.

[Peter Mundy]

That was PH-PBY, the Lelystad Catalina, sadly sold to an American museum as the best efforts of the Dutch CAA succeded in making continued operation impossible leaving only the Dutch Dakota Association carrying passengers and they are under stress.

Looks like it's not just in UK where gold plating is a problem

[Aeronca Alan]

A Dak is now approaching Scotland, showing on FR24.

Plus what looks like a turbine version just SE of Iceland C-GAWI

[Hooligan]

Think C-GAWI is on a ferry flight to for more mundane commercial reasons.

13 in at Duxford this afternoon.

A memorable sight indeed, and great also to chat with a couple of crew members about their journeys to be here for the D Day commemorative events.

[johnm]

I came across this remarkable story by Jim Radford, D Day veteran, folk singer and campaigner that complements the DAK story very well IMHO.


He can beheard singing the song too

[joe-fbs]

He was on Today this morning. Speaking as an unashamed Folkie, it's a good song.

[Boswell]

Not clear from NOTAM, but anyone thinking of dropping into Duxford, they're closed 1st- 5th June (from a PPR request this morning).

[buzzman]

Are they based at Duxford at the moment?
