c/n 9172 Built 1943 for the USAAF with the serial 42-23310. Demobbed during 1945 and registered to Scottish Airlines as G-AGZF in December that year. The airline was carrying out trooping flights to the Middle East during the early 1950’s and G-AGZF was allocated the British military serial WZ984 and painted into RAF livery for this purpose. In October 1952 it was sold to the French Air Force and given the serial 141406, later changed to 4223310. It remained with them until 1971 after which it became the Presidential transport for the Central African Republic with the civil registration TL-JBB (JBB being the initials of the then President Jean Belel Bokassa). In 1980 it became TL-AAX with Inter RCA, but during 1984 it came back to France as F-GDPP and flew with ACE Transvalair on services for DHL. It joined Association France DC3 in 1991 but was grounded following an engine failure in June 2001. Flying again in 2003, she was given the ‘historic’ registration F-AZTE in 2004. She is currently based at La-Ferté-Alais and is painted in false Air France colours as F-BBBE. She is seen taking off to display at the 2019 Fête Aérienne Le Temps Des helices (Aerial Festival – The Time of the Propellers). Aérodrome de Cerny-La-Ferté-Alais, Cerny, France
