Turboprop conversions of DC-3's

Apologies if this has been mentioned; I downloaded all the headers
Giganews has, and searched on Basler; found nothing. Apparently, the
DC-3's airframe is a work of genius.

Web site -- lots of interest there, based on a limited look, so far.

(This supersedes an earlier message, posted a few minutes ago.)

Tried to attach/embed images, but the newsreader I'm using (Pan, early
version (Linux)) doesn't seem to make it easy to attach/embed images.
After all, it's only Ver. 0.1.3.2!

They use engines from P&W Canada.

Regards,

P&W Canada have yet to see the airframe on which they didn't want to bolt a
turboprop.

The South African Air Force modified their fleet of C-47's by converting
them to turboprops - the reduction in empty mass was incredible, and they
also extended the fuselage.
