Does anyone know the history of this famous aircraft post becoming a 2½, did it have a -3 wing fitted, who it flew for, where, ultimate fate?

It was a DC-3 with a DC-2 wing fitted I believe.

I think Jimmy Edwards, a post-war comedian and WW2 DFC-awarded pilot, once claimed to have flown a DC2 1/2...

Many thanks Stool, that video answers so many questions regarding identity, just need to find out now what happened to it, one piece of information says only one of the CNAC DC-3's survived.
