I'm guessing it must be a very
SPECIAL C-47.........

The tail number is hard to make
out, however........

I like to do my planning retroactively!

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Using the tail number plus the Polish marking under the wing throws up this it looks very like the one in the 6th pic down a bit more of a mess .
