DC4s at North Weald

I visited North Weald yesterday to see these aircraft, which recently flew across the Atlantic for use here in a TV mini-series about the Berlin airlift.

They certainly look as if they're over fifty years old, but they are great old birds and must have been the biggest aircraft to land at this airfield for quite a few years.

Also present were a (flyable) Dove, two Catalinas, a Beech 18, a DC3, two DC3 fuselages, a Packet nose section and, in the non-propliner department, if anyone is interested, a large number of Jet Provosts, a beautiful Stearman, a 1930s biplane I couldn't recognise, a Shooting Star, some East Bloc jet trainers I couldn't recognise and several Yak single piston-engined aircraft which again I couldn't recognise-only propliners are my scene really.

If anyone wants me to email them some of my photos, let me know, but please be patient, as my home computer is in for repairs at the moment, so I can't do any scanning-I'm doing this email from my work computer and I've put my office email address on this posting.
