DC-3 Dakota
My dull journey home on the M40 was made all the more interesting yesterday when I saw a DC-3 Dakota passing overhead near Warwick (UK). It seemed to be a warbird due to it's matt green finish and D-Day livery. Does anyone know who owns it or where it's based, I'm guessing it might have something to do with Duxford ?

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Dakota has been on maintenance with Air Atlantique at Coventry, I suspect it may have been theirs. Also one of South Coast Airways Dakotas, based at Bournemouth, is still painted in D-Day colours after having been used in the filming of "Band Of Brothers."
