TC-ETI Douglas
DC-3CS1C3G
(c/n 12319)
Although carrying a civil registration, and the THY
fleet number 41, this DC-3 looks more like
it wa a Turkish
Air Force C-47 when this photo, by Jerry Elmas was taken. (My records
do not
show it
ever being used by the Turkish military, however). It was
a former RAF Dakota III,
KG322. On 3 February 1964 TC-ETI departed
Istanbul at 17:10 GMT on a cargo flight to
Ankara.
It crashed some 12km from the Esenboga airport whilst on an ILS
approach. The crew
of three were killed
and the DC-3 was a complete write iff. .
