Captured RAF DC-3 ?
 
This DC-3 seems to have been captured by the Germans
sometime in 1941 or later carrying unknown markings. Since
the registration is not clearly visible I am not certain was an
RAF inventory but if it was then I would like know which RAF
squadron operated this type.

An aircraft picked up from a Belgian operator OO-AUI Operated by 24 Sqn and forcelanded in France on 23-05-40, possibly shot down by flak or fighter

They also operated SM73 OO-AGS that was lost the same day

Alex,

Perhaps this thread of Aug 2012 on this very website may give the answers:
