On 2/25/27 this plane was registered as PH-PBA with the RLVS (Netherlands Royal Flight) as the personal aircraft of Prince Bernhard. I suppose this date should be 2/25/47? Please check with Glenn E. Chatfield

Well, I'm not familiar with the time period in the Netherlands. I just put in the information from a book I had (about DC-3s, by Arthur Pearcy). It wouldn't surprise me if I had a typo with the year. I passed the book off a long time ago.

There is a confirmation of the date on this page of the Touchdown Aviation website.

Sorry, the website does not allow copying!

I have therefore amended the date in Glenn's comment accordingly.

Thanks Wim and Glenn for you interest.

Malcolm.
