Douglas C-47 Dakota MkIII 271 Sqn. RAF Flt. Lt. D.S.A. Lord VC - 1944 (!:72) by Corgi Diecast Aviation
Item Number: AA38203
On September 19th 1944, Douglas C47 'Dakota' YS-L piloted by Flt. Lt. David S. A. Lord DFC, along with others of 271 Squadron RAF Transport Command, took off from their base at Down Ampney in Gloustershire to re-supply beleaguered Allied troops at Arnhem in Holland. The troops had been surrounded and were pressed into a small area heavily defended by anti-aircraft guns. The crews were ordered to fly at 900 feet when dropping their containers to ensure accuracy and Flt. Lt. Lord's Dakota was hit twice by anti-aircraft fire but un-daunted he held his Dakota level and on course while the supplies were dropped.
