The 5 KLM DC-3s and 1 DC-2 in the UK never left Dutch ownership, they retained their KLM interior and rather than the Speedbird on the exterior they wore a Dutch bird name (e.g. Ibis)...they were on the British register owned by KLM (full name in Dutch), Horseferry House, Horseferry Rd, London SW.1....'usual station' Heston (G-INFO)...in 1940 1 DC-3 crashed at Heston, 1 got bombed at Whitchurch. Lufthansa got Swissair to rebuild 1 DC-3 it damaged in Norway...there must have been plenty of Wright Cyclones around from wrecked American built aircraft.
