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?

De Havilland Heron, if it's this one. Located at the old Croydon Airport.

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.
