Best info we have on these is that they wore the Transport Command crest (quoted from 2 different sources). I sent you a PM here a fortnight or so ago. Did you ever get it?

Has the BBMFs C-47 be done?.
Someone suggested a 'Feathers' livery of North Central's DC-3. This is as good as I can get as there is a dearth of decent pictures. Those that do exist are grainy old things or a schematic drawing.
Anyhow:
I'll upload it to SOH, in the meantime: My MediaFire account
Is anyone of the talented SOH painters interested in doing the last flying C-47D of the Hellenic Air Force (ΠΑ 49622) please ? I'm not skilled myself but all gentlemen here are doing extraordinary repaints, so I just hope !!!
This one's done....that makes 7 of them....
I just need to find the definitive 'red' that's not a photo/fade issue.

Very nice livery by Zsolt Beleznay in the latest Colours, I don't think that there is one for Pegasus yet.
Cheers
