Where are the Douglas DC3īs in the UK
Can anyone enlighten me on the location of DC-3īs (active/inactive) in the UK?
Possibly including reg, owner, status etc.
Many thanks.

Several years ago there was some thought that KP208 would move to Ringway to celebrate the Parachute Regt which was formed there but the idea never came to anything.
Just thought you might like to know!

Thanks for all your replies.
The DC-3 is my favourite aircraft, my next crusade is to find all DC-3īs in Spain including the Canaries and Balearics.
Any ideaīs? I believe Cuatro Vientos has some, maybe Palma de Mallorca too?

EC-AQB used to be Alicante. Last reported 2001.
EC-ASP was a Barajas not very long ago.
T3-36 is at Cuatro Vientos
EC-EJB is preserved at Son Bonet, Mallorca
EC-BUG was once stored at Salamanca (2002)
EC-CPO was stored at Zaragoza (1998)
As far as I know these are the only ones in Spain....
I'm about to be proved wrong, I know!!

Once again, THANK YOU! (sorry to shout).
I just love the DC-3, managed to get rides in 3 so far and looking for more. Been to Duxford, Elvington and coventry etc, seen the Viscount at Los Rodeos in TFN. Also regular visitor to Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla.
Will just have to keep looking for more Daks.........
