This C-47 served with the Força Aérea Portuguesa from 1961 until transferred to the Museu do Ar in 1976. It was then stored at Sintra on behalf of the museum. When the Museu do Ar moved its main display location from Alverca to Sintra in 2009/2010, this C-47 was fully restored and placed on outdoor display there. It is seen here when it was still in storage in unrestored condition. Serial 6157 visible on the wing underside.
