This C-47 was built at Oklahoma City and was TOC with the USAAF as 43-49296. It went on to serve with the RAF (as KK107) and the AdlA (349296), before being demobbed and acquiring through time the registrations F-RAFI, F-RAVA and F-BTDC. At some point the plane joined the Yugoslav AF as 71255 and is preserved, along with two F-84Gs, at the entrance to this small airfield. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
