This aircraft was built in February 1939 at Santa Monica and delivered to Eastern as NC21744. it passed through several owners before going to Ford, fitted with a VIP interior (claimed to be the most extravagant DC-3 in the world) and flying in Argentina as LY-GYP before being acquired by the Hibernian Dakota Flight in 1984. The South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum/Aeroventure then obtained it from the 390th BG Museum at Framlington, Suffolk and plans to restore it as KLM/BOAC DC-3 G-AGBB, which was shot down by a Ju-88 and operated from Doncaster.
