Still representing Dakota Mk.III FZ692. That plane's name and mission marks are applied to port side, with 'Kwicherbichen' meaning as much as 'stop complaining'. 'UK' on the nose does not stand for United Kingdom but was part of FZ692's squadron code 5T-UK that was covered by the invasion stripes shortly before D-Day, and therefore re-applied at a different spot. On her way to Ostrava airport, some 40km (25mi) west-northwest of it, for the 2021 Ostrava NATO Days event.
