Yes, Daysleeper. Throughout the 'Fifties and 'Sixties there was enthusiastic talk of a Dak/DC3 replacement. Well, to some extent the role of the DC3 was replaced by the likes of F27s and Avro748s, but the Dak never was.

Is that a Fullers Boozer I spot behind the Breitling Dak? :)

[Democritus]

That will be "The Wyvern" pub.

Wasn't Whiskey-7 the DC3 that just crossed the North Atlantic. Ref the Poppy drop from the BBMF Lancaster, ISTR that the "bomber" pilot for the 50th Anniversary was a guy called Andy Tomalin, who had been on the same Towers entry as me and whose Dad had been a wartime Mosquito pilot
