As well as plenty of derelict DC-3s at San Juan, there were several in good condition earning their keep, including this immaculate looking example (see also sister-ship N79B in a turquoise version of this eye-catching scheme). First served the RAF from 1944 as Dakota III FZ693, to BEA as G-AKII (then Cyprus Airways and Skyways), Bahamas A/w in 2.60 as VP-BBR, Saeta in 1971 as HC-AVQ and Air Sunshine in 1.77 as N77KW. After Carriba, to N101AP, stored at St Thomas 4.89 and possibly destroyed by hurricane

Delivered in the white-top livery in 10.73; apparently the removal of the white paint saved about 50kg in weight. Leased to BA in 1978 and LTU in 1988, then sold to Cathay Pacific (VR-HOG) and leased to Istanbul Aitrlines in 4.95 as TF-ABP. Broken up after storage at Bruntingthorpe in 1998, but fuselage moved to Pinewood in 3.02 and used in James Bond film
