Millardair's "The Traveller" taxiing out on a passenger charter. In their fleet from 1970 to 1973.

The aircraft has acquired its previous USAF serial on the fin, 268823. It carries unusual Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings, only briefly carried in Norway between June 1945 and Feb 1946. This Squadron, unrelated to the RAFs 20 Squadron, was a continuation of the German Air Force 20 Transportfliegergeschwader. Formally controlled by the RAF, this was the first step in re-establishing civil aviation in Norway post-war, using several DC-3s and Lockheed L-18 Lodestars. In 1946 the DC-3s were transferred to DNL, Norway's main pre-war airline, one of the predecessors of SAS.

Pictured basking in the late afternoon sunshine after taking part in the flying display for Flying Legends 2010. The small titles on the nose read 'DC-3 75 Years 1935-2010 we keep history alive'.

At Flying Legends 2014. Painted in unusual Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings, which were only briefly carried in Norway between June 1945 and Feb 1946. This Squadron, unrelated to the RAF's own No.20 Squadron, was in fact a continuation of the German Air Force 20 Transportfliegergeschwader.

To USAAF as 42-68823 in June 1943. Transferred to Aero O/Y in 1948 as OH-LCG, then to the Finnish AF in 1969 as DO-9. It was sold to the USA and became N59NA on 30 May 1985. But that reg was soon cancelled and on 20 August 1985 N59NA was taken up by DC-3 c/n 9043, which still carries today. Meanwhile, this aircraft became LN-WND in July 1986, initially with Warbirds of Norway, which changed their name to Dakota Norway in 1989. It sometimes features in movies, for example painted as RAF KN452 in 1992 or as Egypt Air "EN-WND" in the 2008 movie "Olsenbanden Junior på rocker'n".
