De Havilland Drover, DHA-3. Designed just after WW2 first flew in 1948 with Gipsy Major's. RFDS operated them mainly and the IO-360 was a later derivative. 20 were built in total. Rugged with a long range they were well suited to the RFDS role. Given they superceded Anson's and Dragon's they were state of the art machines in their day. It was the only aeroplane I ever flew in that I had a bed, (of sorts) to myself.

Geat photo Jaba. Fond memories of the machine.
