Just heard a deep rumble of piston engined aircraft outside, & managed to grab a pic of these two

Dakota's

Are they C47's? Most unusual these days, good old aircrafts.

They were heading in the direction of Teeside airport Derek, so they may have been to a show somewhere

It's the Sunderland Airshow this weekend, I saw them fly over here earlier Ronnie, along with the Lancaster.

Had one fly over a couple of weeks back, also with invasion stripes, didn't get chance of a picture

.

Think they are doing the rounds of the shows due to the anniversary.
