Photographed at Palam in 1989, this Dakota was transferred to the Bangladesh AF Museum in 2014. Whilst there, a c/n of "14018" was quoted which would make it 43-48202 (MSN 14018/25463) which went to the RAF as Dakota III KG786. This was returned to USAAF Jan 30, 1947 (probably as a paper exercise) and sold as VT-CMZ. The aircraft was used by the Indian AF as a VIP transport.
