Warbird Information Exchange

Located in the 5th video of the listed BROADHURST PRIVATE COLLECTION films below. Some interesting items to see if you can deal with some poor quality film in both color and B&W.

Did the RAF have a transport comparable to the C-47?

No.

They had several different smaller types, and a couple of longer range designs built for the empire routes, but nothing modern and all metal that saw widespread service.

Even their post-war Valettas had spars going through the cabin, and their large 4 engines Hastings (produced 1947-52) was a taildragger!

Considering the passenger door, that Douglas probably isn't a C-47.
A drafted airliner?

At the 5 minute mark, it looks like the King (George VI, QEIIs father) is knighting someone.
Also, neat color shots of an RAF Stinson L-1.

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

It's a C-53. See my link above.
