jankees Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 C-47A 42-92847 "That's All, Brother!" of the 438th TCG, based in Greenham Copmmon, England. It was the aircraft that was the lead plane with the parachute droppings on the night of D-Day, dropping men of 502nd PIR of the 101st Airborne Division arond 00:48. It then returned to Greenham Common and later that day pulled a glider to Normandy to reinforce the 82nd Airborne Division. Later it evacuated wounded from France, took part in Operation Market Garden, flew suppliues to Bastogne, took part in Operation Varsity, before returning to the US in 1945. It passed thorugh the hands of several private owners, is rumoured to have flwon for the CIA, and was restored as an AC-47 gunship by the Aero heritage Museum in 2004.. In 2008 it went to Basler for conversion to a turboprop BT-67, when somebody recognised the significance of this aircraft. A kickstarter campaign secured the purchase by the Commemorative Air Force, who are planning to restore her to her D-Day configuration. More details on this, including D-Day footage, can be seen here: http://ww2live.com/en/content/world-war-2-forgotten-d-day-bird-s-all-brother-will-be-restored-and-itll-fly-thanks. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/C-47/ss21450.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/C-47/ss21463.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/C-47/ss21465.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww230/jcblom60/C-47/ss21454.jpg Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.
