The first with the crew relaxing in the shade of the plane works really well :thumbs:

Sharp as can be......love number 1. Can hear Glen Miller playing....if you know what I mean....very atmospheric of times gone past. Glen would have been 104 yesterday! (Ok, I'll get my coat now :coat: )

[chuckles]

Excellent shots.... love the detail (although I suppose, technically, it's a C47). I read once that the maintenance guys described these aircraft as 20,000 rivets flying in formation! :lol:

Yep - Mr Google agrees - C47 :)
