Air Atlantique's passenger and freight C-47, G-AMRA was built in 1944 and joined the USAF as 43-49474. She was transferred to the RAF on lend-lease and used in the Berlin Airlift. She later flew with many airlines until joining Air Atlantique in 1981. G-AMRA has spent her life with Air Atlantique transporting all manner of different loads such as fresh fish, mail, car spares, oil rig equipment, aircraft engines and is configured once a year to drop one million poppies over the Remembrance Day commemorations at Coventry.


Douglas DC-3

Designed to meet an American Airlines requirement for an enlarged version of the DC-2, the DC-3 was first flown on December 17th, 1935. Capable of carrying 24 passengers at a cruising speed of 180 mph, the DC-3 quickly became a popular, widely publicized aircraft, carrying 90 percent of the world's commercial air traffic. A variety of engines were fitted to the DC-3, starting with the Wright R-1820 Cyclone. Later aircraft used the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp Radial, which offered higher-altitude and single engine performance. For both airline and military use, the DC-3 proved to be tough, flexible, and easy to operate.
