Aren't they all C-47's rather than DC-3's ?

Scroll around the Harare airport aerial shot and you can see the Hunter and Canberra that may be up for grabs, too.

We could buy it and set up an airline, I loved that programme.

Yay, I remember that - on a rented TV in a bedsit!

Some far more viable vintage metal to be had in that part of the world....wheels set in motion down the long road to get it flying.

Hmmm tempting but you'll have to get them out of Zimbabwe first. One of our competitors flys DC3's but with the Basler Turbo conversion http://www.baslerturbo.com/

Good Lord. I would love to have them, but what i would do with them i have no idea. Apart from sniffing the smells! Maybe converted to a series of roadside cafes? I hope they don't get canned.

There used to be a few kicking round Dakar.....a bit more accessable perhaps
