Julien Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 This C-47 was owned by the Canadian Environment Dept registered as C-GRSR. It was actually FZ692 an RAF Serial. This aircraft is a Normandy Veteran of 233 Sqn RAF which delivered the 3rd Parachute Battalion to Normandy. 233 Sqn aircraft towed the gliders which took Pegasus Bridge. The aircraft was later used by 437 RCAF. The aircraft was donated to the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum and they intend to restore it to its original war time service markings.

Julien Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 In March 2006, Malta Aviation Museum acquired this DC3 from Medavia of Safi. Currently this aircraft is on display in the Main Exhibition Hangar. The intention is to restore it into a passenger DC3 airliner using parts from both Dakotas they have. The condition of the aircraft, which last flew 15+ years ago, is good on the inside but its exterior needs several repairs especially in the centre section.
