First joining the Ministerio de Comunicaciones as YV-O-MC3 in 1.49, this rare C-47 (later YV-MC-1, YV-O-BYS and YV-O-MC2) was derelict at Caracas as YV-O-MC1 by the mid-1980s and dumped. Carries additional "Búsqueda y Salvamento" (= Search and Rescue) titles.

This 1942 C-47 was in Italy with the USAAF during the last part of WWII and remained there afterwards with Linee Airee Italiane as I-LINA. After the merger with Alitalia in 1957, went to the Air Force in 1960 and flew electronic missions with 14° Stormo Radiomisure. Dumped at Practica di Mare in 1998 and still derelict there. Sad for what was arguably the star of that Fairford show, but at least there is a similar example beautifully preserved in the IAF museum at Vigna di Valle

"St Patrick" had served the USAAF 8th and 9th Air Forces in WW2. She flew for Aer Lingus from December 1945 until replacement by Friendships in June 1963. She later became CS-TAD and HR-LAK, becoming derelict at La Ceiba in 1980. A sad end to a reliable old airliner.

C-47 of 41 Troop Carrier Squadron of the USAAF's 5th Air Force at a remote airfield in PNG in 1943. Named "Queenie", it is being closely examined by a group of indigenous people as bigwigs pose for their photo. The aircraft survived the war only to be scrapped in 1947 after its arduous service. From Douglas 60 years ago.
