This stunning print captures the iconic Douglas C-47A Dakota 4 G-AGJV of Derby Airways at a snowy Birmingham Airport, circa 1965. The aircraft, with its distinctive design and history, exudes a sense of nostalgia and adventure in the world of aviation.
The Douglas C-47A Dakota was a workhorse during World War II, known for its reliability and versatility. This particular aircraft, with serial number msn 12195 and various previous registrations including 42-92399 and FXZ638, has seen its fair share of action before transitioning to civilian use with Derby Airways.
In this image, the snow-covered tarmac provides a picturesque backdrop for the sturdy plane as it prepares for another flight. The cold winter air seems to enhance the timeless beauty of this classic aircraft as it stands proudly on the runway.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from decades past, we are reminded of the incredible advancements in aviation technology that have shaped our world today. The Douglas C-47A Dakota remains an enduring symbol of innovation and progress in aeronautical engineering.
Thanks to The Peter Butt Aviation Collection's meticulous preservation efforts, we can continue to appreciate these historic moments in flight history captured through their remarkable photo prints like this one.
