Ah the old pommy 4 engined job:-) I recall the Herons out at Tulla operated by Kendell's. Wonder whatever happened to them? Would love to have flown one but only ever got to drive the Heron's baby bro, The DH104 Dove. Typical pommy plane, looked, felt (as far as I could tell) & flew like yr typical Dehav 2WW plane:-) Ergonomic nightmare they where. Over the years switches & stuff where added ad-hoc. Pneumatics where more like hydraulics in the airframes I used to fly, more oil then air in the tanks.Still the old Dove flew well & can imagine the Heron was the same.

'DD' how's ya hearin' these days?


Here's too real Aeroplanes
