Delivered to the USAAF as 44-76540 then to the RAF as KN442 in 1945. Registered as G-AMPZ in 1952 and used by a number of operators.

This C-47 was built in 1944 and flew with the USAF as 44-76540 and participated in the 1947-49 Berlin Airlift. Due of the importance of this event for the City of Berlin it was acquired for sightseeing flights in 2000. Tragically the frame was written-off at SXF less than a week after this photo was taken after the left engine failed on take-off and the aircraft was unable to gain height. Fortunately the pilots could crash land in a field and all aboard survived.

Already prepared for the airlift celebrations.

Berlin's resident DC-3 is seen here with "Rosinenbomber" and "Berliner Flughäfen" titles, sharing the unique Templehof covered parking area with fellow Dakotas SE-CFP, G-AMPY and LN-WND to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift. D-CXXX was formerly G-AMPZ so it is certainly not the first time she has sat alongside Air Atlantique sister-ship G-AMPY!
