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. |

KP208 16671/33419 Preserved by Airborne Forces Museum at Aldershot.
no longer at Aldershot removed for Rebuild .eventual destination said to be Duxford but have heard Colchester barracks TONY |
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! Suzeman |

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? |
There still one (EC-EJB) at Palma Son Bonet, I think.

There is one in Son Bonet, Mallorca. It has been there for years and hasn't moved - hardly. There was another, registered in Estonia, I think, but it departed a while back.

There was one flying by Halfpenny Green / Bobbington airfield on Friday. Not sure if it was landing there or just bumbling past at about 200 feet.
Nice sound :) |
Hi, no DC-3s at Cuatro Vientos airport only one in the museum. Another is preserved at Malaga airport.

Hello
There should be a few at Coventry BRgds |
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!! RR |
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......... |
EI-AYO, a very smart Dak 3 in storage at the Science Museums store at Wroughton, seen only by the public once a year if you are lucky, its one of the oldest airframes left in the world.
