                                        Fortunately this ex-Air France DC-3 is wearing its rego on the nose.  In this era many of the French
                                        African airlines were direct subsidiaries of Air France as their liveries clearly showed   This C-47B-DK
                                        was the former RAF Dakota IV, KN596.  It was civilianized for Air France in 1946 and seconded to
                                        the fledgling Tunis Air in 1948.  When Tunisia became independent it became TS-AXZ, whereupon
                                        the airline became known as Tunisair.  This DC-3 was last seen derelict at Tunis in the 1970s.
