G-AMPP painted as 'G-AMSU' and preserved at Lasham.

Photographed from the top of the Southern pier which was then open to the public. Note Spantax Douglas DC-7C and Canadian Pacific Britannia in the background.

Ex XF756, G-AMPP, KK136, 43-49456. Used by Dan-Air as its 'gate guard', falsely painted as G-AMSU, their very first aircraft. It is actually G-AMPP, sold to Aces High in November 1991 who sold it on to Eurodisney in France, where it was put on display. In 2002 it went to a museum in the Netherlands. In 2005 it was used in a film about the Berlin Airlift ("Die Luftbrucke") painted as KN491, in which the airframe was set ablaze. Subsequently reported as being with the Wings of Liberation Museum at Best, Netherlands, for restoration in USAAF markings.

Date is approximate. Preserved here for many years outside Dan-Air's engineering base. It is in fact ex G-AMPP.

Ex 44-77216, KP246

This preserved Dakota, painted as G-AMSU but actually ex G-AMPP, was disposed of when Dan-Air was taken over by British Airways. After passing through a number of owners it was last reported dismantled, with parts in the hands of an owner in Poland.

This was Dan-Air's first aircraft, serving from June 1953 until February 1969. It is visiting Ringway on a passenger charter flight. Also on the International Pier are a KLM Viscount 803 and Dan-Air Ambassador.

This was Dan-Air's first aircraft serving the airline from June 1953 until withdrawal in February 1969. It wears the initial "Dan-Air Services" titling and colour scheme.

Although reportedly some parts of the real G-AMSU were used in the preparation of this Dak for display, it was really G-AMPP which served Dan-Air between 1961 and 1971 after an RAF career. The aircraft was removed to France in 1991, then to the Netherlands in 2002. Finally it went to Berlin in 2005, to be used for the making of a film about the Airlift, to represent crashed Dakota KN491, which went down on 24 Jan 1949 in East Germany while approaching Lübeck-Blankensee. When filming was completed, the remains of the aircraft went to Olawa, Poland.
