Late 50s I think. Not certain, but I think the Rapide was probably hers!

There is another surviving static Heron at the Al Mahatta museum on the site of the former RAF Sharjah, UAE. It is dressed up as G-ANFE of Gulf Aviation but is in fact VR-NAQ-G-ARKU-XR443-G-ODLG-VH-NJP, C/N 14072. So, one of the Sea Herons. https://sites.google.com/site/lgarey...lmahattamuseum

Spotted by me in Florida in 2002, registered as HI-582CA. Apparently still around but abandoned.
