VP-KLC Douglas DC-3
(c/n 14370/25825)
One of the DC-3s used to replace the Lodestars, VP-KLC was registered
to EAAC in 1953.
It was the former RAF Dakota IV KJ 876. This nice shot, gleaned
from EAAC in 1954 shows
it in pristine finish at the old Eastleigh Aerodrome. In
August 1964 it, (along with several other
DC-3s) was reregistered in Tanzania as 5H-AAK. It was in
Tanzania that it was written off
after ground
looping on landing at Mbeya Airport on July 5, 1973.
