Nice shot of what was the prototype of the Schafer DC-3-65T conversion, marketed by AMI. Operated here for the Red Cross by Rossair Kenya, the aircraft was busy transporting patients from South Sudan. The original C-47B, 43-49824, served in the British, American, Belgian and French air forces. Photo by: Boris Heger / International Committee of the Red Cross
