Hi ya jacko1
Nice collection, I had a quick search around on the net and Google earth and I have seemed to have dug up Five more DHC-4s for your collection  .
1) Two at NAS Lakehurst, http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0173920/M/ they seem to have gone unnoticed sitting there.
40° 2'0.95"N 74°20'53.11"W
2) Amarillo International http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0841889/M/ “An old tired Caribou on display at the English Field Air and Space Museum in Amarillo, Texas”
35°14'3.87"N 101°42'17.51"W
3) One at Camp Santiago Puerto Rico http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1089661/M/
18° 0'6.82"N 66°17'29.23"W
4) at Amberley dumped on the Eastern side of the airfield next to A4-235. This aircraft served in Vietnam from August 1964 to June 1971. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1119680/M/

The Gravel Truck ("The only aircraft known to man that could suffer a birdstrike from behind".) Love it.I did a L.A.P.E.S (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction) of 44 g drums,when they hit they broke up and a 44 bounced and try`ed to re`enter the cargo bay.A very brown pants day.The pilot saved the day and broke right at zero feet.Fantastic.
Cheers Martin
