Operator: Aero Legends.
Year of Manufacture: 1944
Powered by: X2 Pratt & Whitney engines
Colour Scheme: USAAF – 42-100882, code 3X-P, ‘Drag ‘em Oot’
Aero Legends ‘Drag ’em Oot’, is a 1944 C-47 Douglas Sky Train. This Douglas C-47 c/n 19345, was delivered to the United States Army Air Force on 28 December 1943 and had serial 42-100882 assigned. She joined operations with 87th Troop Carrier Squadron based at Greenham Common in England equipped as glider pick up, her crew named her ‘Drag ‘em Oot’ (slang for ‘Drag Them Out’).
She participated in the air assault during D-Day when at 00:46 on 06 June 1944 she dropped 18 paratroopers of the US 82nd Airborne Division just behind the Normandy beach heads, near St. Mere Église. She returned safe to the UK and after a second mission that very same day, she started to resupply the troops in France.
In September 1944 she was transferred to the Royal Air Force, designated a Dakota C.3 and assigned the British serial TS422. Once with the RAF she was assigned to Number 1 Heavy Glider Servicing Unit, attached to 38 Group RAF at Netheravon, Wiltshire. The RAF wanted to have a specialist glider recovery unit and TS422 started recovering Horsa assault gliders from the Normandy beach heads as soon as she joined the RAF. The unit recovered about 40 Horsa’s prior to Operation Market Garden. TS422 herself was just like the Horsa’s she recovered from the Normandy beaches, in action during the biggest Para-dropping in history: Operation Market Garden in September 1944. During this mission the pilot must have been severely wounded considering this Dakota was found to have signs of 12 bullet holes on the top of her cockpit and nose; probably caused by being attacked by a German fighter at some point but this Dakota warbird could take a beating. She was repaired and in August 1945 she joined 435 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force which had just returned from Burma to the UK.
After the war ended the Dakota left for Canada, where she served with the RCAF as a trainer, a transport and whilst equipped with skis and jato rockets, as a search and rescue aircraft.
After her fruitful military career she ended up in the USA, serving with various civilian companies, being registered as N5831B. She was then grounded for a few years until Paddy Green found her in Arizona upon his search for a C-47 to be restored as a WW2 veteran.
Following an inspection (plenty of DC-3 / C-47 hulks around but most are in deplorable shape when inspected thoroughly) she was purchased and prepared to a condition suitable for the long ferry flight back to England. The flight to Liverpool took 7 days and 35 hours flying time, but occurred without any technical problems.
Once in the UK she was registered N473DC and repainted in the livery she now appears in: the original markings as worn during her missions on D-Day 1944 with USAAF serial 42-100882 and coded 3X-P, nicknamed ‘Drag ‘em Oot’ then piloted by Bill Allin.
‘Drag ’em Oot’ will be kept in military trim and used by Aero Legends in a number of roles including parachuting, air displays and in support of the soon to be launched re-enactment business – Combat Legends Ltd. ‘Drag ’em Oot’ will remain hangared at Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre for the foreseeable future.

Radio operator T/Cpl Robert A Daley of the 56th Signal Battalion tuning a radio installed in an M-2 Half-track somewhere in the vicinity of Comber. November 1942.
Daley is tuning a BC-312-D Radio Receiver and has a J-37 Morse Key on a leg mount above his knee. The pole in the centre of the image is the antenna while the TU-5B Tuning unit and BC-191 Transmitter equipment can be seen below the M-1 helmet hanging in the background. The brassard on Daley's shoulder is devoid of any insignia or markings and most likely a gas detection brassard. This would have changed colour when exposed to certain gases used in chemical warfare. Daley is also wearing an M-1941 Jeep Cap.
TSPS unlike TSP positions were hooked to a special TSPS electronic switch (Central Office) made by Western Electric.

This 2008 Scania R420 was seen parked in a yard in Strutherhill Industrial Estate, Larkhall. This vehicle along with two other lorries only appeared recently in Strutherhill, situated in a compound by the roadside which was put together a year or so ago. This Scania's V5C logbook issue date of November 2023 fits into that timeframe, but interestingly it's marked as SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) so isn't currently in use on the roads.

Plum thinks she's a smooth operator. ^__~ If by smooth she means goofy, then I think she's onto something!
She's adjusting her glasses in the left photo and looking suave in the right photo. Haha.
