Present Day
G-DAKK has more recently appeared in films including Stephen Speilbergs “Band of Brothers” , a BBCTV series shown Christmas 2001 for which she was repainted, and she also provided the setting for a new world record to be set by a drummer (Jerome the Experience) onboard in April 2002.

A limited edition die cast model was launched of this aircraft at the end of 2001 by Propwings, the first in a series of DC3 airliners. More recently she featured on the Royal Mail first day cover issue commemorating propliners.

G-DAKK meets the standards for public transport aircraft operation under JAR-OPS AOC, on which she currently operates.

There are 32 airline passenger seats onboard, with an average of 40 inches seat pitch, this aircraft was built for comfort and not for carrying large numbers.

There is also a galley and hostess station with communication to the flight crew and P.A system for passenger announcements.

For the comfort of the passengers there is also a cloakroom onboard furnished with toilet and wash hand basin and window.

To complement the modern features installed to meet the necessary safety standards for public transport, there are many original installations such as the hydraulic auto pilot, still fully serviceable but superseded by today’s modern equipment.

This aircraft must be viewed internally to appreciate the wealth of features onboard.
