Allied Utility Aircraft In Korea?

I'm looking for info or pictures of allied utility aircraft used in Korea - mainly the C-47, PBY Catalina, UC-45 and L-5. I know the USA used all four and Greece used the C-47 which were attached to the U.S. 21st Troop Carrier Squadron, but who else? I cannot find information on South Korean, British, Australian or South African non-combat aircraft . . . did they not have any?!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!:salute:
 
I know the Brits used the Sunderland which was its last theatre of ops. Sunderlands saw service initially with No. 88 Squadron but shortly followed by Nos. 205 and 209 Squadrons. The three squadrons shared the operational task equally with rotational detachments of three or four aircraft and crews based at Iwakuni, Japan. Missions lasting 10 to 13 hours were flown daily throughout the war, and also during the Armistice period that followed, until September 1954
 
Thanks guys! The links are very helpful. I've learned more about Aussie Dakotas from just those links than from hours surfing the net. :salute:

Did not know about the Sunderland being in Korea. Will be a great addition to the KTO when it's finished!
