Aces High Daks
G-BHUB & G-BHUD Douglas C47 Dakotas were imported into the UK by Aces High around 1980. UD's slide shows a date of 1980 & the location as Duxford, England, UB's slide shows only 1981 with no location. The images are scanned from a collection recently donated to me.

Re: Aces High Daks
as Mike says, interesting photos thanks.
As for the location, when I first looked I thought it might be Redhill but did a bit of searching and found this which said a lot of these passed through Blackbushe so could it have been there? https://www.flickr.com/photos/heathrowj ... 1255291791

Re: Aces High Daks
The white buildings in the background, and hills are Shoreham.
I think the date on photo is wrong (1981) and should also be 1980.
G-BHUB was delivered through Duxford in August 1980 and was fairly quickly painted G-AGIV Ruskin Air Service for the TV series.
