Photo Comment

Ex-Spanish Air Force T.3-34 and G-BLFK with the hastily applied US registration N952CA on the fin. It later went to Canada as C-GJDM and was to become the prototype for the DC-3-2000 project with the fitment of Polish PZL radials, but the program stalled and it lapsed into dereliction at Peterborough, Ontario. More recently it has donated some of its vital organs to the restoration of C-47A N308SF "Night-Fright" restoration at Coventry. (With thanks to Ruud Leeuw's excellent web site for some of the above information).
