G-AMPP operated for Dan Air from 1961 to 1971. After that the Dakota was preserved as G-AMSU at Lasham. At some point it moved to France, where it sat with EuroDisney, awaiting some sort of use but of which came nothing. In 2002, they started to scrap it, "Wings of Liberation" had it moved to the museum in Best, NL, this took place on 29 August 2002. On 26Feb05 this DC-3 was put on transport to Berlin, having been sold to the German film company Teamworx Television. It was painted silver USAF c/s and the set on fire in a crashscene for the TV movie "Die Luftbrucke". Text from Ruud Leeuw.com

Ex XF756, G-AMPP, KK136, 43-49456. Used by Dan-Air as its 'gate guard', falsely painted as G-AMSU, their very first aircraft. It is actually G-AMPP, sold to Aces High in November 1991 who sold it on to Eurodisney in France, where it was put on display. In 2002 it went to a museum in the Netherlands. In 2005 it was used in a film about the Berlin Airlift ("Die Luftbrucke") painted as KN491, in which the airframe was set ablaze. Subsequently reported as being with the Wings of Liberation Museum at Best, Netherlands, for restoration in USAAF markings.

Captured inside the Air Zimbabwe maintenance hangars in the dry season of 1981. VP-YNH carries the livery Air Zimbabwe inherited from Air Rhodesia. This colour scheme was introduced when the Boeing 720s were hurried into Air Rhodesia service in 1973. It is basically the colours of German Calair with the red "twiggi bird" (a very stylized version of the Zimbabwe bird) applied on the tail.
