The remains of a Douglas R4D (Dakota DC-3 C 117) from the US navy.

I think it was in 1978 that the pilots of this Douglas R4D had to make a emergency landing
here on ash sandy Solheimasandur south of volcano Eyjafjallajokull ;-)

	Nov 09 2011 21:57 GMT Cooler PRO Thank you for your comment Jenny, no reason at all, probably too expensive to move it, but photographers have enjoyed shooting this plane over the years ;-)
