Seen A Dakota Lying Around Anywhere?

A while ago I watched a TV programme aout the WW2 Bomber offensive, during which (the programme, not the offensive!) Euan Macgregor's brother (ex Tornado driver) got some instructing on a Dakota before getting to pole the BBMF Lancaster. I've been trying to trace the Douglas ever since, with no luck so far. I have very few clues:
  • It wasn't (I'm pretty sure) from BBMF.
  • The instructor was a woman
  • I thought they were flying from White Waltham, though apparently not based there.
The question is - anybody know where I can get my hands on a DC3/C47 for a bit of GH? Prepared to travel, but UK preferred!
