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.
