So the Dakota Group build has come to an end and the votes are in. Thanks for everyone who took part and thanks for voting as well. The standard of entries was exceptional and I think everyone deserves a pat on the back. Just so people know, the result wasn't fixed!

1st Place - rowmk9 - C-47, Armee de l'Air - French Indochina, 1953

2nd Place - Warris - Dakota MKIII, RAF Broadwell, D-Day 1944

3rd Place - AndyC - AC-47D, Udorn AFB, Thailand, early 1970

A picture each of the top three.

What I like about the top three is that they cover three conflicts, three operators and almost thirty years service. This absolutely captures what the Dakota is about. :)

Cheers Rowan!

It was a beauty wot won it! Well hosted and great encouragement for the builds all along, so a hearty thanks from me

Great point about the three conflicts - I hadn't twigged. Mine needs a shelf to sit on - this will spur me on now
