Photo Comment

This Dakota belonged to the 355/1 STM based at Thessaloniki-Sédes. At that time, the base was equipped with metal plates taxi and runway. The once USAAF Dakotoa, (43-49479) was delivered to the RAF as KK156 in September 1949 and later on transferred to Greece. It was eventually withdrawn from service early 2005. KK156 was last seen at Tanargra air base in 2013.
