Summary

edit
Description
English: c/n 19347. Built 1943 and delivered to the US Army Air Force with the serial 42-100884. Transferred to the Royal Air Force as TS423 in 1944 and then to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1945.

She is a genuine veteran of D-Day and Arnhem in the glider tug role and later in the Berlin Airlift in a pure transport role. After her military career she was operated by Short Brothers, Scottish Aviation, Marshalls of Cambridge and then Ferranti. At Ferranti she was modified with a bulbous nose and fitted with radar. Saved by Mike Woodley of Aces High in 1979, she was given back her original nose profile and began a career as a film, TV and airshow star. She was initially UK registered as G-DAKS but has since been US registered as N147DC. She is still operated by Aces High, some 40 years later. Painted back in her own original D-Day colours, she is seen landing after displaying at the 2019 Flying Legends airshow.
