MORE than 400 spectators looked on as an historic Second World War Dakota aircraft made a thunderous flypast at the Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington.
The plane played a crucial role during the war, dropping paratroopers over Germany, Italy and Burma.
Its appearance was part of the museum's popular Battlegroup North Wargames show and military vehicles exhibition.
A museum spokesman said: "There was a large crowd out to see the flypast. Fortunately the weather was good."
