Description
The Turboprop version of the Douglas Dakota C47 replace our Avro Shackletons used for maritime patrol. Hence in the SAAF the name of "Dakleton" became common for the 35 Squadron birds.
He was doing a fly-past with the right prop feathered, sadly not that evident as my shutter speed was too fast.
