Just to add, the Li-2 which is the Malev of Hungary tribute aircraft was at Duxford in 1988, and took part in the mass DC3 departure to France on the 75th anniversary of D-Day with parachutists. Here's a couple of photos from the day, firstly of the prop hub, for those following the conversation above, and secondly of the US Army parachute display team boarding the aircraft on the right hand side, whereas all the C-47s alongside were boarding on the left.
Now I just wonder if anyone associated with this military display team for the D-Day commemoration quite understood that Malev is the airline from Hungary, who in WW2 were ... er ... on the OPPOSITE side, the Axis side, throughout the conflict. Which did seem a trifle inappropriate for the commemoration.
