Saw it there in the Aeroclub Hangar about 2 years ago with cobwebs in the intakes. Believe the impounded aircraft was donated by the government there to the aeroclub for paradrop operations, although I don't believe it has flown since being impounded.

The owners of the DC3-T, who are based in Lanseria are still to this day following the legal battle of trying to get back there DC3-T. It is a complete mess and one doubts that they will EVER get it back. Pity though it was a stunning aircraft.
