Sir Freddie Laker referred to the Dakota, which launched his career in civil aviation, as the workhorse of the skies. From its origins in passenger travel in the 1930s, through the Second World War - when more than 10,000 were built - to its return to civilian use, the Dakota has flown more miles and carried more passengers and cargo than any other aeroplane in the world. Sixty years after its maiden flight, there are still 1,000 in use. Even though jet technology and the need for larger aeroplanes have curtailed its popularity, it is still used to carry all kinds of cargo, from machinery to livestock.
