| Description |
c/n 33436/16688. Built 1944. Allocated US military serial 44-77104. RAF serial ‘KP220’. Airworthy and operated by Air Atlantique as a radar trails aircraft, it is currently being converted back to a passenger aircraft for possibly charter work and pleasure flights. I have a vivid personal memory of this particular ‘Dak’. We were at Luton Airport back in 1978 and although I lived 10 miles from Duxford I had never (knowingly) seen a Dakota. However, even as an 8-year old there was no mistaking that head-on silhouette as what was clearly a Dakota lined-up on the approach, still miles away. “It’s a Dakota, it’s a Dakota” I called excitedly, to be told something along the lines of “it can’t be” or “don’t be silly”. However, a Dakota it was, and G-ANAF landed and taxied by, in full Air Atlantique markings. This moment was the beginning of the ‘Hawkeye’ nickname which has been proven again and again over the years, and (I like to think) still applies today. Many years later, I am delighted that my first ‘Dak’ is still flying. She is seen here under maintenance in the display hangar at ‘Coventry - Airbase’, Coventry Airport, UK 11-10-2015 |
