I flew the Heron back in the late 60s, did about 600 hours on it, single pilot IFR on RPT ops.

One of the most laterally stable aircraft that I have ever flown. Trim it out and it would fly hands off all day – lots of dihedral - which was just a well as it didn’t have an auto pilot.

Ah memories are made of this
