C-47 N150D became the 13th Dak to arrive at Duxford when it touched down early afternoon today following a flight down from its overnight stop at Wick in Scotland.
I think im right in saying that 'full' stripes (as seen on SM) were applied during June, then reduced to half stripes (as seen on MH434) in July then only half tripes around the tail in September

There's a photo on Facebook of her in stripes, but not sure if this is the most recent application or an older one.
