Looking for DC-3 Floor Beams

We received a request from:

Chief Engineer

Looking for a variety of DC-3 parts, but most important at the moment are the last 5 floor beams at the back.
Our ones are corroded and need replacement.
P/N  are 5140047 / 5140048 / 5112087 / 5112088 / 5113366.
Regards
Corrie

Sad report… DC-3 Down

From BBC news comes this report:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8312330.stm

“Officials say the DC-3 plane scraped the roofs of 14 houses in Manila before crashing into an abandoned warehouse and bursting into flames.

No-one was reported injured on the ground but residents said two houses close to the warehouse caught fire. “
