    It's a shame, really.

    I wonder how long it will be before EU regulations require all of the old castles to be brought up to modern building codes or be torn down...

    Great Pictures Alex!! The Dakota is a great aircraft I once parachuted out of one for a WW2 jump reenactment.

    Great story and pictures, Alex. It's good you got to fly in a Dakota again.

    Blasted bureaucracy!

    It is so sad that vintage aircraft such as the "Gooney Bird" have to be made subject to 21st century rules and regulations.

    Never got a chance to fly Concorde and now looks like I will never have the chance to fly in a DC3 either.
