Civilian Aviation

I have recently been given a number of images that belonged to someone who has had to go into care, I don't claim the images to be mine but they reside in my collection & I thought it would be good to share them with a wider audience. I have asked mods for guidance on posting them but have had no reply to my PM. If the post goes against forum rules please remove.

A number of DC-3's were stored at Dinard in Brittany, sadly I can only identify three from notes on the slides.

F-BTDF. F-BTDK. F-BTDD.

Interesting shots and thanks for posting them.

Absolutely no issues with posting them, Jez, who did you send a PM to?

I used a 'contact administrator' link I found somewhere on the site.

I'm pleased that I'm able to post as it's a bit sad to just let them languish in a box unseen - I'll post a few a few more as I get time to scan them.

I've found your PM in the CivilianAviation profile's PM inbox and replied to you.

Yes please, post as many as you like.

Interesting shots to see.
Digging in Air Britain News - it turns out that Rousseau Aviation at Dinard purchased at least 24 DC3 from the French AF.
Registered in the F-BTDx, F-WTDx range and some unmarked.
Lets see some more.

(I visited Dinard once in November 1995. Loads of F-27 variants. Special interest was DC3 F-GIDK, F-GNFD and two DHC-5 SU-BFE and 5V-MAH.
Would love to see pictures of them if any in the collection.)
