F-BAIJ  Douglas DC-3                                    (c/n   14102/25547)

                             

                                This rather uncostrasty image comes from the Jennifer Gradidge collection.  It was taken at London
                                Airport in the early 1950s.   Immediately post WW II,  Air France operated some three dozen of these
                                ex C-47s.   F-BAIJ was a C-47B-1-DK, USAAF serial 43-48286.   It was sold in the 1960s to the
                                Central African Republic Air Force (Force Aerienne Centrafricaine) with call sign TT-LAD.  Its final
                                fate is obscure.
