Falsely painted as C-47A 42-92717, but is ex. 44-77047, KN673, G-AMSN, N3455, SU-BFZ, VR-ABG, 7O-ABG, EI-BSI. Placed on display at the 'D-Day Experience' museum in 2007 and serving as a (moving) simulator, where one can enter the aircraft and experience the Channel crossing on D-Day. Not wanting to spoil, but definitely an eye-opening experience and can't imagine how scary it must've been to be on one of these flights during the war.
