DC-3s at Villanueva del Pardillo, 1991

Comments on the identity welcomed !!

Comments (as posted on Yahoo's DC-3 eGroup):

Villanueva del Pardillo / owner unknown / type C-47 / registr ? / c/n ? / stored, holiday home built of a former Iberia C-47 fuselage, together with a Douglas C-54 Skymaster fuselage

In december 1991 I have visited both Dakota's (there is NO C-54). These are former Iberia DC-3's and only the fuselages were present. It was also possible to have a look inside, but it was not possible to find any ID's. There was a bathtub inside the cockpit !!!
The location is between Villaneuva del Pardillo and Villafranca del Castillo (closer to the latter) along road M509. About 25km NorthWest of Madrid. If you ask in the village, people can help you.

I have a note saying they could be EC-ACL (c/n 12154 ?) and EC-ACK (c/n 20405 ?) but no confirmation.

Recent sightings and/or photos would be welcomed, as well as help in establishing the identities of these former airliners.
