DC3 over Wales
Just sitting having a pleasant salad and beer for lunch, when a DC3 - in what appeared to be full D-day paint job - ambled past flying south over Abergavenny. Was it real - or was it too many Stellas?

I think you did see what you thought you did, so you'd better keep drinking 
The one operated by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
RAF BBMF - Dakota ZA947
Don't know where it was going (Waddington maybe), but it did a flypast at Cosford on the second

Hm that port wing looks decidedly dodgy; hardly surprising since when it was operated by Transport Flight at RAE Farnborough, the port undercarriage collapsed just before takeoff one day (c1990) and it ended up resting on the port wingtip with the upper skin of the wing decidedly buckled!

Also overflew the Shawbury perimeter track "Fun Run". Now there's an oxymoron, particularly on a day like this .........

DC3
I was home in Malvern listening to the Test Match when a familiar sound reached my ears! Looking west over the Malvern Hills-there WAS the DC3 at low level heading towards me-wonderful!
Whilst on the subject of DC3's can anyone enlighten me what became of the 3's that I was connected with on 3 Squadron Rhodesian Air Force New Sarum.
