View Full Version : Aero Argentinas DC-3
I tried unsuccesfully asking this question in the spotters corner forum so I am hoping some of you here may be able to help instead. I am trying to work out the identity of a DC-3 that I saw in Shoreham painted in "Aero Argentinas" colours.

I think it was used for Agatha Christie's Poirot, is this right?
Photo taken in September 1999.

Somehow I prefer it in Argentine marks... if only they'd been genuine!

No problem REF.
This is how she looked in July 1998 at Fairford. as it can be seen not a great deal had to be done to alter her colour scheme to represent "Aero Argentinas"
