Operated by Aerial Survey Botswana at this date, this Dakota has an interesting past story: Serving with the RAF as KP279 1945 to 1952, then BEA as G-ANMV before going to TASSA as EC-ATM 1962, Autair with G-ANMV restored 1965. To Bechuanaland National Airways as VQ-ZEA 1965 (re-reg'd A2-ZEA). To South Africa as ZS-FKI with Protea Airways November 1969, ZS-NPI with National Process Air and ZS-ASN with Aircraft Operating Company in 1980. To A2-ADN in 1982 and fitted with geological survey equipment at Toronto between 1982 and 1986. Seen here before fitting of nose extension. Photographer unknown

"Parashurama" taxiing in at Aero India 2023. It bears the name of the warrior avatar of Lord Vishnu. This Dakota was RAF's KN397, later G-AMSV and N347DK. Donated by R. Chandrasekhar, MP, it joined the IAF Heritage Flight in 2018 after the Tiger Moth and Harvard. The tail number bears a special significance as VP905 of No. 12 Sqn "Yaks" was the first to land at Srinagar on 27 Oct 47 carrying troops of 1 Sikh to save the town and area from Pakistani raiders, marking the start of the 1947-48 Indo-Pak War.

Built as C-47B-35-DK 44-77128 and delivered to the RAAF in June 1945, A65-114 was immediately involved in the return of POWs from Singapore, later in Korea and as a VIP transport. In 1954 it was transferred to 38 Sqdn at Richmond and after 10 years joined the Aircraft Research and Development Unit at Laverton, moving on to Edinburgh when the ARDU relocated there. In October 1986 it was substantially damaged after a double engine failure on take-off and left gear collapse. Withdrawn for use with 13,897 hours recoded, it was transported to Port Adelaide for preservation in 1992
