Parked on the ramp at Dyce Airport, Aberdeen. Operating for the South West Aviation Company of Exeter, Devon, probably on North Sea oil rig support work. In 1945, as Dakota IV KN250, entered military service with the RAF, where it survived a crash landing after engine failure on takeoff. Eventually joined Florida Air Cargo Inc. in 2015 as N271SE and is still active on Caribbean freight flights in 2023." This photo is copyright © David A.
