The first four-engined aircraft in the Martinair fleet was this de Havilland Heron, PH-VLA, which for most of the time it was owned by the company was on lease to Lufthansa.

Again showing Mike’s gift for composition, context and colour, this Kodachrome of de Havilland Heron 1B G-ANXB, named Sir James Young Simpson, of BEA’s Scottish Airways division, was taken on the apron at Glasgow’s Abbotsinch Airport in August 1971. The aircraft was being prepared for its next flight to the beach at low tide on the Hebridean island of Barra.

With UAT’s distinctive hangars in the background, de Havilland D.H.114 Heron 1B F-AONS (c/n 14039) sits on the ramp at Paris-Le Bourget circa 1960. Delivered in early March 1954, F-OANS was one of nine examples of the initial fixed-undercarriage variant of the type to serve with UAT, most having moved on by the mid-1960s.

Resplendent in the colours of Jersey Airlines (as was), de Havilland Heron 2 G-AORG Duchess of Brittany was flown in to Alderney on June 16, 1996, during the island’s GA fly-in. G-AORG saw service with Jersey Airlines from 1956 to 1962; it was then operated by the Royal Navy as a Sea Heron (XR441) until its retirement in 1989, when it was bought by its present operators, Duchess of Brittany Ltd. Although several Herons remain registered in the UK, this is the only example which is currently airworthy.

Capable of carrying 14 passengers and two crew, the de Havilland D.H.114 Heron was a four-engined "stretched” version of the Dove, offering even better economics. Heron 2E PH-ILA was acquired by Philips in early 1959 and served until 1968, when it went to the USA to become N561PR and was fitted with Continental engines.

In 1954 de Havilland appeared to be in good financial shape, with a healthy order book for both military and civil projects, the latter including the D.H.114 Heron - the prototype of which is seen here - and its engine and equipment subsidiaries. The Comet tragedies nevertheless put the company in a precarious financial position.
