This is really C-47 N8383 - the real I-LEON was c/n 4316. It was flown from Florida to Turin in 1988 and painted in these colours for SAGAT, the operators of Turin airport, and placed on display near the main entry road in 1992.

These six C-47s have long been derelict at Sedes, just east of the main Thessaloniki airport. From left to right, the complete set are C-47A 92635, C-47B KN575 c/n 33199, C-47A 92627 c/n 4658, C-47A 92634 c/n 13837, C-47A 92638 c/n 9720 and C-47B KN475 c/n 32952. Two of these are obviously ex RAF but the four with numeric serials (based on FY 49- US serials) were part of a batch of 30 supplied to Greece under MDAP in 1949. The c/n for the first one listed is unknown. KN575, centre-left in this view, was once flown in a silver/white livery.

Ex XE280 (for about a month in March/April 1953 for the Berlin Airlift before reverting to G-AMRA), G-AMRA, KK151, USAAF 43-49474.

This Dakota was delivered to the RAF as KN564 in May 1945. Ten years later she was delivered to the Royal Rhodesian Air Force as SR157, later RRAF708. With the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was dissolved in 1963, the Dakotas and Pembrokes of the RRAF were transferred to the Northern Rhodesia Air Wing which became the Zambia Air Force after independence.

Operated a supply charter CVT-CGN-CVT on behalf of the Ford Motor Company. Quite a rare sight at CGN, even back in '92. Very bad wx that day with pouring rain and high winds. Photo is of rather poor quality because I had to use a long lens (>300mm).

The FAB operated at least 80 C-47s over the years and this is one of several that have been preserved, having last served 6º ETA at Brasilia. They performed a great range of essential transports duties to overcome poor surface communications, maintaining the Correio Aéreo Nacional (military mail service) and carried civilians in areas where commercial air transport could not operate economically.

The FAB operated at least 80 C-47s over the years and this is one of several that have been preserved, having last served 6º ETA at Brasilia. They performed a great range of essential transports duties to overcome poor surface communications, maintaining the Correio Aéreo Nacional (military mail service) and carried civilians in areas where commercial air transport could not operate economically.
