What's it called?
My friend is doing a gig at Airport House Purley on Friday, and he said their is an aeroplane outside on a pole, so it should be easy for me to find! I know it is a 4 engined plane that reminds me of the Dehaviland Dove. Do any of you knowledgable gents know the correct title of this aircraft please?

Top marks!
That is indeed the machine. I wanted to reply to my friends invitation with a bit of knowledge, being the flyer in our group.
Many thanks PR.
