Where are the Douglas DC3´s in the UK

[Cymmon]

Can anyone enlighten me on the location of DC-3´s (active/inactive) in the UK?
Possibly including reg, owner, status etc.
Many thanks.

Several years ago there was some thought that KP208 would move to Ringway to celebrate the Parachute Regt which was formed there but the idea never came to anything.

Just thought you might like to know!

Thanks for all your replies.
The DC-3 is my favourite aircraft, my next crusade is to find all DC-3´s in Spain including the Canaries and Balearics.
Any idea´s? I believe Cuatro Vientos has some, maybe Palma de Mallorca too?

There still one (EC-EJB) at Palma Son Bonet, I think.

There is one in Son Bonet, Mallorca. It has been there for years and hasn't moved - hardly. There was another, registered in Estonia, I think, but it departed a while back.

There was one flying by Halfpenny Green / Bobbington airfield on Friday. Not sure if it was landing there or just bumbling past at about 200 feet.

Nice sound :)

Hi, no DC-3s at Cuatro Vientos airport only one in the museum. Another is preserved at Malaga airport.

EC-AQB used to be Alicante. Last reported 2001.
EC-ASP was a Barajas not very long ago.
T3-36 is at Cuatro Vientos
EC-EJB is preserved at Son Bonet, Mallorca
EC-BUG was once stored at Salamanca (2002)
EC-CPO was stored at Zaragoza (1998)

As far as I know these are the only ones in Spain....

I'm about to be proved wrong, I know!!

EI-AYO, a very smart Dak 3 in storage at the Science Museums store at Wroughton, seen only by the public once a year if you are lucky, its one of the oldest airframes left in the world.

ZS-MRU (4363) ex Naturelink is still at Dunsfold and is an ex US Navy R4D-1 built in 1942. I have not known it to move in at least 4 years!

One less to worry about - ex Atlantique N347DC/G-AMSV delivered to Weston near Dublin November 19th.

There are four at Coventry Airport:

G-AMRA - Owned and operated by Class Flight LTD.
G-AMPY - Pollution Spray Aircraft working for RVL Group
G-ANAF - Operated by RVL Group on specialised survey work

Not sure what the four reg is but it is neither owned or operated by either of the above 2 companies believe it is privately owned.

G-AMPY, My very first flight took place on this a/c, Staverton to Jersey 1977. It belonged to Intra Airways back then, I can recall going to the loo in the tail- end and seeing daylight through the fuselage, as I stood there answering the call of nature.

Also of note was the fact that the traffic on the M5 southbound was moving slightly faster than we were :rolleyes:.
Fond memories, good to see it`s still serviceable.
