last summer there was one of these dakotas taking people on prebooked flights at Tees valey international airport , ( used to be teeside airport )

 

this year there was another which i think was one of these with some fancy takle on maybe raidar ? it was flying about for days leading up to some big government meeting ,G8??, then all of a sudan stoped just as this meeting did ,, someone had wrote in to The Northern Echo asking what this plane was doing making such a row ( was a heavy drone ) they said they'd looked into it and the reply they got was it was working for google earth , ... ?? why then did it take the same path for a week ??

that dakota is a very welcome addition to an excellent museum ,particularly as it was used on the original attack on june 6 1944
