This well maintained DC3 wears the elegant and noble colors of the RAF Transport Command. Originally formed in March of 1943 (Wikipedia) as a unit charged primarily with ferrying aircraft from the factories to the forward operations airbases of World War 2, then later taking over the harrowing task of dropping paratroopers into the fight, this unit was an integral part of the Allied forces war effort. Following WW2, the Transport Command expanded greatly and took part in a number of famous operations such as the Berlin Airlift, utilizing amongst other types, many DC3's designated as Dakotas in Great Britain and wearing these colors. The RAF Transport Command continued to fly with distinction in many historic operations throughout the world, flying millions of miles and visiting every continent save for Antarctica. In 1967 the unit was reduced and renamed the Air Support Command, which reflected a change in task to a more active combat role instead of the transportation of goods and humanitarian aid.

The RAF are renowned for taking great pride in their aircraft, so this DC3 is clean and well maintained. The cockpit is still indicative of a hard working DC3 of course. smile.png I've included a conversion for the prop disks to show yellow tips on the spinning props. Instruction are included as a PDF. The livery "RAF Transport Command" folder goes into the usual liveries location within your LES DC3 aircraft folder.

I hope you enjoy flying in the colors of the RAF Transport Command. Thanks!
