Mildenhall Air Fete 1979. Delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force as 661 on 16 Sep 1942. Declared surplus to requirements in 1969. For the next 23 years the Dakota was operated by the British Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). Initially, it was given the RAF designation KG661, but in the late 1970s it was realized that the serial number KG661 had, in fact, previously been allocated to another Dakota which had been destroyed in an accident. The error was reported and in July 1979 the Dakota was allocated the 'modern' serial ZA947. Transferred to the BBMF. Current in 2024 on an overhaul.

Carrying out training at Prestwick as AVRO06. Initiating a go-around from an approach to Runway 13. Converted from the 1968-built Nimrod MR2 XV234 as the second development aircraft for the ill-fated Nimrod MRA4 project which, against a background of steeply rising costs and emerging technical issues, was cancelled in the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review. Scrapped at Woodford, UK, in 2011.
