Dove PH-IOM

[RileyDove]

Anyone care to help me with the initial operator of this machine when it left the factory as a MK.5?

According to the Air-Britain Dove/Heron monograph:

c/n 04485 PH-IOM was delivered to Iraanse Aardolie Exploratorie en Productie Mij on 26MAR57.

Now you're not going to ask me how to pronounce it, are you?

Cheers

Thank you very much!
