OY-DCE  Douglas DC-3                              (c/n  4865)

                                 

                                       This somewhat evocative shot of "Gorm Viking" (with DDL Denmark underneath the name)
                                       illustrates this Danish registered DC-3 under the tail of Norwegian registered DC-6 LN-LAG. in
                                       the early 1950s.  Airport, anyone, please?   This former C-53-DO was delivered to DDL in 1946.
                                       After flying with SAS from 1948 until 1952, it was sold to Ramapo Foundry and Wheels Works Inc,
                                       of New York state, and carried the US "foreign" registration of N9959F before being re-registered
                                       stateside as N34D.  In 1967 it was purchased by the Ohio State Department of Commerce who
                                       operated it until 1983.  This aircraft is, I believe, still in existence, although is fast becoming derelict.
