"While I was there taking pictures I started talking with one of the gentleman, who was working on the plane and I was able to find out its fate & destination.
The guy, who I was talking to, was there with his dad (he was the one taking the nose section and from what I am told his dad owns a very large hanger in Seattle, WA and he is going to suspend the nose section in a corner of the hanger and convert it into a guest bedroom!
The aircraft had already been slated for scrap so it was nice to see at least a portion of the aircraft saved..."

"I recently came across your website while doing some research on my aircraft slide collection, which has been sitting dormant in a box for over 25 years. I am in the process of digitalizing them all.
Thought you might like a picture I took back in July 1981, somewhere in the States. "

Nanne added: "That picture from Frits Klinkhamer was surely taken at Le Bourget. I recognize the pre-war concrete hangar building. My first ever visit there was 1964. I think the picture of Klinkhamer was probably taken in 1963."
I received several replies after posting the question on Yahoo's DC-3 forum and Classic-Propliners, confirming the identity, such as Andy Martin's reply "definitely Senegal Air Force C-47 - 6W-SAC - became F-GEFX"

F-GEFX was C-47 c/n 6207, last registered to Aero Stock and 'fate unknown' (Aerotransport.org)

"Ran across these in the proverbial cardboard box in the attic and spent a couple of days restoring them.  My father shot these in Pensacola in 1938, while going thru flight school there with the Navy.  
It's the French Latécoère 521.  A hurricane caught it the day after it flew in.  
It was salvaged and shipped back to France, where it was restored to eventually fly again.  
Germans captured it during the war and it was finally destroyed during an Allied bombing raid."

 --The inaugural flight of the Latécoère 521 took place on 10 January 1935, followed by a demonstration flight in December 1935 via Dakar, North Africa to Natal, Brazil, then north to the French West Indies. Having reached Pensacola, Florida, it was caught in a hurricane and wrecked. The aircraft was returned to France by ship to be rebuilt, before going into service with Air France on the trans-Atlantic route. In June 1937, it flew non-stop to Natal before returning to France via the North Atlantic. Then, equipped with more powerful engines, the aircraft made four further return flights to New York, between May and July 1939.
The aircraft could transport 72 passengers in a great comfort. On the lower level there was a salon with 20 armchairs and tables, six deluxe double cabins, each with its own bathroom, seating for a further 22 passengers, a kitchen, a bar and a baggage hold. The upper level had seating for 18 passengers, a storage compartment and an office for the three flight engineers.-- [Wikipedia, more...]

Jerry added to this-
Recalled this email from the editor of the Fana Aviation Magazine group in France—:
"It might be of interest for you to know that this flying boat was mainly an instrument of propaganda as it was unable to cross the Atlantic with any valuable payload.
Moreover, it was hardly able to carry its furbishment on a valuable distance. When it came to Florida, it did crossed the North Atlantic - only loaded with fuel, lubricant, crew and necessary food for the crew - to the French Antilles. There it was furbished and flown to the USA... Weighing 42 tons at take off (without furbishment), it could carry a payload of about 300 Lbs thru the North Atlantic... without stage with a good wind pushing it and without any furbishment inside!
I do not know if all those details were known at the time in the USA. Apparently all the French who were aware of that never said anything at the time. "
Suspect that the 300 pound payload consisted of mail, or perhaps for the arrival celebration, champagne..
Cheers!

Pablo Romero sent me the following details of a C-119 crash in Spain.

Early in the morning a broadcasting by local radio informed us of a plane crash, at about 8 kms from town. Fortunately the whole crew had jumped with parachutes from the plane and all had landed safely.

The people of Cáceres celebrated the good fortune of the American crew, which was invited by the city council for a 'Spanish wine ceremony'.

The crew members were: Capt. Guillermo (Williams) Adams (aged 37), Lieutenants Thomas Johnson (27), Jhon Mattheso, Sergeants Clement Seric (22) and Merven Strang (32).

The picture shows 3 crew members, accompanied by some Spanish military authorities, plus an American representative of the US Embassy at Madrid, amidst the wreckage of the C-119 Flying Boxcar; the plane crashed at only 7 meters from a small house where a family of shepherds were sleeping and fortunately no one was injured.

I wonder if any member of the crew of that flight C-119C-18 tailnumber 50-0163 has ever read this comment or is recognized in the photo by anybody.

I hope that above history is interest to you and your readers. Please let me know if somebody can identify any of the Americans crew of that plane.

I would like to add that the plane had departed from Frankfurt (Germany) with destination Azores Islands and when they were west of Finisterre (Spanish NW coast), one of the engines was gone. In an attempt to reach Lisbon´s airport, they continued flying south over the Portuguese coast, but the foggy weather and the loss of altitude made them change course in order to avoid any mountains. And while going east, they were looking for Cáceres airport. When they arrived at Cáceres, the heavy fog prevented them from finding their alternate destination and fuel starvation made them decide to leave the C-119 by parachutes."

Bernard added "ZS-DRJ is going to Pretoria to get fitted with turbine engines." Certainly good news as this bird hasn't flown in over 10 years!
Most of the histories of these aircraft are on my page dedicated to my 2004 visit to South Africa.

I then headed for Frederick,OK where I spent the morning with the WW11 demonstration team and their DC-3's N751A and N79MA. It was while I was there that they told me about another DC-3 at Bristow,OK so I next headed for Jones Memorial at Bristow... (3F7 at www.airnav.com)
You will see from these shots that the DC-3 was very anonymous. The airfield was deserted, however as I was walking around, a car drove up and it turned out to be the local Bristow animal control officer.
In conversation I was told that the DC-3 was an ex Mosquito Control aircraft that belonged to a local museum. There was also a B-25 rear fuselage noted and I identified that as being N3453G.
I tried that website that you mentioned on the Heartland Air Museum (heartlandairmuseum.com; dead link by dec.2018) and it comes up with pictures of the C-47, but no text, so how do you know it is C-47J N231GB (c/n 26108/14663)?"

In reply to that last question I can say that when I looked at the museums's website it had photos there which clearly showed N231GB on the aircraft; less than a day later, these photos were gone! The museum seems recent, with a few single engine warbird projects too. -Webmaster.
See how I photographed it at Marathon,FL in 1992 HERE...

Kevin from Tulsa wrote me: "The man behind this museum/collection is Andrew Donohue. He's local here in the Tulsa, OK area. He has been collecting a handful of aircraft for a while, and also has a glider to display with the C-47. As he gets going, it should be a neat collection."

UPDATE: in Dec.2018 the Heartland Air Museum (Bristow,OK) seemed no longer in existence and I found N231GB for sale (USD 190.000,-) on Platinumfighters.com (Airframe: 21.168 Total Time Since New).

UPDATE MAY 2020:
On my gallery for Ken Swartz's propliners you'll find a pictorial update of N231GB at Hemet Valley Airport in California in March 2020. Reg'd 24Apr2019 to Thomas M. Hanks of Carlsbad,CA.

UPDATE MARCH 2021: On my Photos by Friends & Guests #62 N231GB at Flabob Airport, 'Pacific Pearl' fitted out with a nice new livery by Joe Garcia and crew.

In the center sits C-47B VH-PWN (c/n 14556/26001), with many parts removed.
I saw them at Bankstown in 2005

Graeme concluded with the remark 'I understand 2 others were transported to Molong, south of Sydney, so
will follow that up...'

Graeme sent me on 06Feb10 the following update on the Discovery Air Tours DC-3's-
VH-SBL was noted at Melbourne-Essendon with an engine running on 15JUN09; it had arrived at Essendon on 24MAR08 for maintenance.
The 4 Discovery Air Tours DC-3s located at SYD-Bankstown have been transported by road to a property near Molong, NSW.
Dates of arrival at Molong are:
VH-BPN 25NOV09 (approx)
VH-MIN 10DEC09
VH-DNA 17DEC09
VH-PWN 21JAN10 (Departed Bankstown same day)
VH-DNF will be moved from Warnervale to Molong in early 2010.
