Frank,
afaik the preserved Dakota is not the real K-1/OT-CWA. It is ex LX-DKT (and before that F-BEIG) which would make it 42-24391 which is not ex BAF.
And the B727 is -233F with c-n 19489/593. Which makes it ex-N6814, OO-DHT, EC-IDQ which was scrapped at Ostend in 2021/2

' "CB-01” B727 cockpit only,' is cockpit plus about three meters forward fuselage.

In which case it needs mentioning that the CH-03 was the complete forward fuselage up to the wing joint..
..and that there were two Hercules tails present as well: one on the NW entrance of the barracks and one on the public entrance of the airbase.

Sorry, my bad.
I quoted the wrong aircraft. It is indeed the Herk which has the additional meters.
