Originally operated by Scottish Airlines (ex KK136) then flew with Dan-Air from 1961 until 1971. See Photo ID: 342289 for a rundown of its convoluted post-operational history.

Ex Royal Air Force KK136 and operated from 1952 to 1961 when it went to Dan-Air London. See Photo ID: 342289 for a rundown of its convoluted post-operational history.

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.

Date is approximate. Preserved here for many years outside Dan-Air's engineering base. It is in fact ex G-AMPP.

This preserved Dakota, painted as G-AMSU but actually ex G-AMPP, was disposed of when Dan-Air was taken over by British Airways. After passing through a number of owners it was last reported dismantled, with parts in the hands of an owner in Poland.

Ex RAF KK136. Served Dan-Air from March 1961 until registration cancelled in February 1971.

Although reportedly some parts of the real G-AMSU were used in the preparation of this Dak for display, it was really G-AMPP which served Dan-Air between 1961 and 1971 after an RAF career. The aircraft was removed to France in 1991, then to the Netherlands in 2002. Finally it went to Berlin in 2005, to be used for the making of a film about the Airlift, to represent crashed Dakota KN491, which went down on 24 Jan 1949 in East Germany while approaching Lübeck-Blankensee. When filming was completed, the remains of the aircraft went to Olawa, Poland.
