89 year old design, it still looks modern.
Beautiful sight and sound.

40yrs since I last flew in a DC3,this brought back happy memories of the trip in G-AMPO that's now static at Aldershot Barracks.

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

Great video I also visited and filmed on the same day Shuttleworth did a great job👍

[@andrewlowes9123]

I saw these fly by a music festival I was at on Saturday morning, heading there from N Weald I guess

[@paulcrawley390]

Very interesting, brought back memories for me as I was Ground Crew/Engineer on one in England 40 years ago.

[@pinchus34]

Love this! Saw them off at Oxford.

[@claireparr4489]

How wonderful. Let's hope R4D will make it in time✈️🤞

[@pinchus34]

I was supposed to fly with them before they left and couldn’t. I’m rooting for them!

[@claireparr4489]

@@pinchus34 Oh, goodness!! It seems so unfair after all their preparation. I'm rooting for them too! ✈️❤️

[@pinchus34]

Agreed and they’re all such nice people too.

Amazing video mate. Do you know when the European based aircraft will arrive at North Weald airfield

[@Biggsy]

I'm not sure, but I know they will be doing practice parachute drops at the end of the week, so maybe middle of this coming week?

[@LiamWard-nd2jy]

@@Biggsy do you know how many Dakota's are coming in from Europe?

[@Biggsy]

@@LiamWard-nd2jy The D-Day Squadron has the planned group. It is meant to be 10, 2 from America are still to arrive, 1 from Switzerland and 3 from UK, but at least 1 of the British planes won't be ready in time I heard

[@LiamWard-nd2jy]

@@Biggsy thanks. Night fright might not be ready in time.

[@LiamWard-nd2jy]

​@@Biggsydo you what day the European Dakota's are coming to North Weald.
