Civilian Aviation

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.

Interesting shots, both were ex. Spanish AF but does anyone know where was 'UB was taken?

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

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.
