Very cool. There's one at Moorabbin airport in Melbourne too in relatively uncomplete condition, from memory just a fuselage. Nice to see one flying.

Look at the fuselage , quite an impressive concept .. to increase the diameter , for the period a impressive concept which today well .. study how close the propeller arch is well away from the hull were if you have been lucky to ride in the cockpit .. believe AWP maybe had a small window in the crew door opposite the propeller , at 8500 ft across the channel was only maybe 8 to 10 inch's away form my face .
Thank you for posting that photo Max thumbup1.gif

Edit .. thought there is a DC-2 for FSX recent released , i may have a looksie
