Mildenhall Air Fete 1979. Delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force as 661 on 16 Sep 1942. Declared surplus to requirements in 1969. For the next 23 years the Dakota was operated by the British Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). Initially, it was given the RAF designation KG661, but in the late 1970s it was realized that the serial number KG661 had, in fact, previously been allocated to another Dakota which had been destroyed in an accident. The error was reported and in July 1979 the Dakota was allocated the 'modern' serial ZA947. Transferred to the BBMF. Current in 2024 on an overhaul.

Ex KG661, RCAF 661, USAAF 42-24338. Served initially with the USAAF but soon transferred to the Royal Canadian AF, with whom it served until declared surplus in 1971. It was purchased by RAE Farnborough as a trials aircraft, and allocated the serial KG661. When it was discovered that the original KG661 had been destroyed in an accident, a new serial - ZA947 - was allocated. It was declared surplus to requirements in 1992 and passed to Strike Command, and allocated to the BBMF in March 1993.
