Donald writes... I have established that the other Dak flying in formation with 6820 is 6816. According to my logbook these two, based at Ysterplaat, were in service with 27 Squadron CF from the time of the Squadron's formation in 1963 to the time the Albatross (Piaggio P-166S) replaced them in squadron service in 1970.
