With the handiwork of the author and his colleagues clearly visible in the hastily-applied registration on the rear fuselage, Dove G-ATGI (c/n 04097) is seen here at Luton in October 1965, shortly after its ferry flight from Jordan. Serialled D-100 in RJAF service, this aircraft was stored until late 1969, when it underwent Riley conversion .

Although similar in terms of passenger-carrying capacity, the de Havilland Dove was an altogether more modern proposition than the Beech 18. Philips acquired its first Dove, PH-ILI, in 1957, the aircraft remaining in Vliegdienst service until 1967.

The Empire Test Pilots School was resident at Farnborough from 1946 until 1968 occupying the hangar on the south side of the airfield, this now being used today as the civil enclave. In this view are some of the ETPS fleet at Farnborough during 1961. These include a Vampire T.11, Meteor NF.14, Meteor T.7, Hunter F.4, Hunter T.7, Dragonfly HR3, Devon C.1, Shackleton MR.2, Canberra B.2, Swift F.7 and Chipmunk T 10.

Resplendent in its McAlpine Aviation colours, G-ATGJ (c/n 04113), formerly D-101, is seen here at Luton in 1970, following its conversion to Riley configuration with Lycoming engines. It later went to Australia as VH-ABK. The two ex-RJAF Herons, H-105 and H-106, became N782R and G-APPD respectively, although only the former was converted to Lycoming power.

Впервые взлетевший 18 декабря 1966 года, Carstedt CJ-600A Jet Liner был наиболее радикальным вариантом модернизации Dove. Крупнейшим покупателем стала авиакомпания "Apache Airlines", получившая четыре машины.

Designed to the Committee’s Type VB specification for a Dragon Rapide replacement, the same company’s D.H.104 Dove prototype, G-AGPJ - seen here with original fin - made its first flight at Hatfield on September 25, 1945, just six weeks after the defeat of Japan. Like the Viscount, it was a success, with nearly 550 built.

Одним из первых операторов Dove стала компания "Morton Air Services" из Кройдона. Самолет G-AMYO был одним из трех последних Dove, списанных этой авиакомпанией в 1969 году после почти 20-летней эксплуатации.

De Havilland Dove 6 D-IFSB first flew at Chester on October 1, 1953, as G-AMXR. Flown to Hatfield on October 24, 1978, it was re-assembled at the museum on March 4.

Деловые варианты Dove, такие как Mk 2, Mk 6 (на снимке) и Mk 8, хорошо продавались за рубеж - самолет можно было считать первой удачной деловой машиной.

The appropriately-registered Dove PH-MAC was Martinair's first aircraft, acquired in 1958.

Sudan nationality marks have now been changed from SN to ST, and the Sudan Airways Dove, ST-AAD (c/n. 04036, ex-SN-AAD, ex-G-AJOS), is an early example. It passed through Blackbushe en route to Lasham for overhaul during the month.

Photographed at Chester in 1953, XB-TAN was a Dove ordered for Mexico. It was not delivered and has now become XJ321, the third Sea Devon for the Royal Navy.

Given the unusual registration YI-MYOB (do any readers know why?), de Havilland D.H. 104 Dove Series 1 c/n 04032 was awarded its Certificate of Airworthiness on July 2, 1947, and was delivered to the RIAF Royal Flight the following day. It is seen here in a photo taken by Rex Nicholls at Heathrow in July 1949.

Dove 6A N11XW (c/n 04401) is used by Flight Research at Mojave, California. It was G-AMXW both before and after it served with the Royal Navy as XJ349 from 1954 to 1961. It was sold in the United States in 1975.

Airlynx. A NEW airline now operating from Stansted is Airlynx, previously based at Southend and in recent years concerned mainly with buying and leasing aircraft to business concerns. For 1977 Airlynx will be operating five aircraft on North Sea oil work, overseas building construction, communications services in the Middle East, live lobsters to the South of France and general charter work. Fleet includes a Dove and several Piper Twin Comanches (see photo).

The four Devon C.2s of the RAE Communications Flight were withdrawn during late 1985 in favour of three Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftains. The Devons are seen here in formation, shortly before their retirement. The Navajo lasted only a short period as these loo were withdrawn, and the communications flight disbanded during March 1993. Two of the Devons, XN223 and VP959 continued in service at West Freugh for sonobuoy trials.

Эти самолеты, получившие у "de Havilland" обозначение Dove 4, а у индийских ВВС - Devon C.Mk 1, входили в первую поставленную партию из четырех машин. В общей сложности ВВС Индии приобрели 22 самолета.

Like all four of the RJAF’s Doves, c/n 04289 originally served with Jordan National Airlines before being transferred to the air force in the mid-1950s, when it adopted the serial D-103. Given the British registration G-ATGL for its return to the UK, this aircraft remained in Amman while the other three Doves and two Herons were ferried back to Luton, the author ferrying 'TGL back the following month.

For communications and VIP transport duties, the RMAF has purchased a series of aircraft from Hawker Siddeley, comprising the Dove (shown), Heron and an HS 125.

Another unusual type photographed at LAP by John Stroud was de Havilland Hornet F.3 PX396 in May 1948. The sleek but pugnacious-looking fighter may have been on its way to Linton-on-Ouse to join No 64 Sqn, with which it served with the codes SH-O. Note also two other de Havilland types in the background; nearest is a Mosquito, behind which is a Dove.

Plans to use the aircraft to ferry consignments of fresh lobsters from Ireland to the Continent came to nought, and on August 3 the Devon left Biggin by road for the East Surrey Technical College at Redhill, where it will serve as an instructional airframe.
