As USAAF C-47A 42-24211 it served in North Africa and Europe before civilianised as F-BEFA in 1948, flying for CATA, Aigle Azur, Air Atlas, Air Maroc, Royal Air Maroc as CN-CCL and the Royal Moroccan Air Force as CN-ALM/20669. Sold to Euroworld California in 1978 as N54607, it was stored at Backbushe before sale to Keenair at Liverpool where it was again stored, until sale in 1989 to Cherkley Aviation as G-BPMP and ferried to Coventry. A planned full restoration was stalled and it was broken up in 1995, but its nose section lives on at the Luchtvaart Hobby Shop near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
