Controls, Douglas DC4
by Peter Elgar
The cockpit contols of a DC4 WWII transport parked at North Weald airfield -- I was doing a story on a bloke who is going to restore a DC3 and we used the rotting DC4's for the photos. It was all dusty inside, full of old rags, a USA flag, a rusting engine in the space where the troops would have sat for D-Day -- I used my K10D + kit lens and weak flash.

Not in bad condition considering that they have both been sitting at North Weald for a fair few years! Just watched an 18 second clip on FaceBook of one of them doing an engine run last November. Never heard of a DC4 being used on D-Day.
