last flight for pax in UK 2007

hi there
i flew as pax from key west to miami over the florida keys in about 1980 which was so nostalgic,
taking off from a warm evening in a palm tree swaying little airport in a DC3 i felt like ingrid bergman LOL!!!

then last summer here in the uK it was possible to take pleasure flights from various airports around the uk where the dc3 used to be historically connected with in abig way,
such as southend, newquay, jersey, bournemouth, coventry and many more,

i took 2 flights from newquay (RAF st mawgan) up and over the stunning north cornwall coast,
amazing stuff,

best thread on here for ages
thanks
ps im have some great pics of the day in the DC3 which is painted in RAF transport command livery but i dont know how to do it yet here so bear with me....
