How are the 2 ex Air Atlantiqe Dakotas getting on at Elvington and Lyneham? Have they actually moved yet?

how many Daks have AA owned? What fate awaits them?

Both of the Daks are at their destinations. The Elvington Dak is minus
engines and props so don't hold your breath to see her ground running .

I believe Atlantique have owned 11 or 12 daks over the last few years.
I will dig out the pictures from the Coventry 50's display 2000 to see who elses Dak's flew with AA ones in the big flypast, probably the Dutch and the South coast one.

If they have their open days back this year its worth going, full tour of the operation and a flight in either Rapide, Dak, Twin pin or Prentice all for £30.00( that was 2000 price)
