EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the cockpit of the BBMF's Douglas Dakota ZA947, affectionately known as Kwicherbichan by her crews. The historic aircraft rests in the hangar at RAF Coningsby, where it underwent deep servicing during the winter months. ZA947 played a crucial role in Para-dropping Operations on the eve of D-Day, and later served in re-supply missions and medical evacuations for injured soldiers from forward airfields within combat zones. As part of the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAF-BBMF), this iconic aircraft is one among many historical treasures flown at airshows throughout the summer season. The BBMF is administratively under Royal Air Force No 1 Group and operates from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.
