If Dove VH-CJY,no its not at jandakot any more, was last reported at northam in the early 2000's but no longer there either, Its the only Dove/Devon in Australia that I do not know its location.
Prototype Heron is now at Australian National Aviation Museum

Wow..
just reading this thread has allowed me to Pos ID a three set of blades I swopped five years ago for some Laser profiled steel, they were as new wrapped in poly and oil.

Hi Daniel
I'm sure you know already, but we have a Mk6 and a Mk8 (neither airworthy regrettably) here at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum in UK.

Hi Alan,
Thank you for sharing the link, I was aware and I follow your museum on facebook. I am quite familiar with AREA's sister ship EX ASMG from when she was in Australia, flew in her many times sadly now grounded in New Zealand.
I would love some detailed photo's of the MK6 and the nose modifcations which I assume held photographic or filming equipment when it was used in germany.
D-IFSA which was flying until recently appears to have the same mods though it has been painted over with the civil paint scheme.
Cheers, Dan

I recently posted this on the RAF Chipmunk thread, in a piece of thread drift, but it definitely belongs here:

Hi, India Four Two
I have been trying to find more details on the Float Dove, the Photo in your post appears to be the only one of it on floats.
Later converted back

Dan,
This is where I found the photo:

The only Dove ever fitted with floats was a one off conversion
for the Hudson Bay Company of Canada.
It was then operated by S.J. Phillips as N91827
The aircraft was written off in Alaska 196 [sic]

ZK-DHW ex VH-JGZ/DHQ project
Hi All,
It's with great excitement that we have launched a crowd funding page on kick starter with the aim of raising funds to purchase Dove 8 C/N: 04533 ZK-DHW.
DHW is currently in storage but is complete including engines and avionics, we believe this will be an excellent candidate for an airworthy restoration.
more details can be found at the link below.
