DC-3's at Biggin Hill, UK, 2000

All photo's kindly sent in by my good friend Enno Borgsteede who attended the Biggin Hill Air Show in the South of England, 2000.

The following information has been provided about all remaining DC-3/C-47's in the UK, kindly researched and written by the great DC-3 researcher, Coert Munk.

DC-3's IN UK

A provisional listing of all DC-3's in UK (from my earlier book on Daks in Europe). It’s not complete, the Booker US registered Dak is not yet on the list and I didn’t check other recent changes!!

Please give comments
