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

Early rising holidaymakers in the Balearics during the early 1990s may well have seen the Aeromarket DC-3s chugging between the islands on their newspaper runs. This one was originally an RCAF aircraft and became N47FL and is now a static resident at Smithville Municipal Airport, TN, still in the yellow overall finish

An extraordinary feature of the expanded Flygvapenmuseum, opened on 12.6.10, are these Dakota remains. On 13.6.52, exactly 48 years before this photo, it was shot down over the Baltic by Soviet fighters while on a secret ELINT mission, checking installations in what are now Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Two Catalinas deployed on SAR after the incident were also attacked by Mig-15s. The Soviets denied the shoot-down till 1991 and the wreckage was not found until 2003
