Photo Comment

On display in the Cold War Gallery at RAF Museum Cosford. Flown by Communications Squadrons after World War II, this aircraft served in a VIP role in Germany and Singapore. It was assigned to the Queen's Flight in 1961, and was the last Dakota in service with the RAF in 1970. Moved to the museum, the Dakota was painted in 2005 in Transport Command colors.
