Is DC3 still blocking Manch 23L ?
Hi Guys, does anyone know if the Emergency landing DC3 is still blocking RW 23L at Manchester..?
The last I saw of it, the crew had departed, and left it parked at the end of 23L, with the cockpit windows open, but chocks under the wheels, and gust clamps on the control surfaces.
I seem to remember that a group of 20 squaddies could easily push a DC3, so even a rope to a tug should get it to taxi..

Ex West Freugh as KG661; ex Farnborough where it was re-numbered ZA947, suffering port engine (the one that was feathered) damage there before being 'stolen' by BBMF after DERA decided they weren't in the business of flying boffins between their research airfields and disbanded the old RAE Transport Flight..
