In the RAE in the late 70's early 80's we had a fleet of Devons - flew on them many times, wing oil tank filler seals always leaked over the wings !
A real Beautiful Classic DH Aircraft ! thank you for showing it tons all!
Got many hours driving the old Dove, an ergonomic disaster but handled well, although heavy on the ailerons, due that huge span!👍
I flew the Dehavilland Dove and Heron. Pneumatic brakes were a little weird.
Thank you! I love the Dove and the Heron!
As an NCO I got to serve in the Irish Army Air Corps (1974-1977). Doves #194 and #201 were used frequently until the 1st Kingair #232 was added. On one flight practicing engine-outs, I was appalled by the loss of forward movement and thought the running engine was going to take us directly to the scene of the accident 😛
Flew an RAF painted Devon last year, loved it! Such a nice little plane, only problem was it wasn't long enough :D They should do holidays to France or something using these vintage planes, people would love it.
I used to fly on Prinnair's Dove & Heron's as a passenger out of San Juan to St.Thomas for my once a month liquor run's in the 70's.
It's a beautiful plane, and the video was quite well done. Sehr gut!
I got to land a Dove (under supervision) at Gove in Australia's Northern Territory in the mid 1970's. As I recall, it handled very well, a delight to fly.
John Orr a great experience!
hey mate, did that happen to be a SAATAS aircraft?
@@MaxwellCavill No mate, it wasn’t PK-LEA. It was VH-DHH. I knew the SAATAS fleet well. Was your Dad Dick Cavill? John.
@@johnorr7386 Hey John, Dick Cavill was my Grandfather. PK-LEA was based with SAATAS East Indonesia, but thought it might have done some runs in the NT. I fly out of Darwin now for Hardy Aviation on metroliners. Sort of following his footsteps. But thats really cool you knew the SAATAS fleet. It was well before my time since they closed shop in the 70's.
OUTSTANDING!!!
The last time a saw one , was well, so long ago, but in 1972, in Hawaii, saw 2 of the DH HERON, 4 engines, , saw one sight seeing into HALAAKALA crater in MAUI, was so funny looking DOWN , at the plane, saw it LONG before heard the sound, they were ABOVE the clouds, was on a trip there.
Que increible que un avión tan antiguo continue en vuelo. De pequeño vivi en una base militar pues mi padre pertenecia a la Fuerza Aerea y estos aviones ya estan desmantelados por la decada del 60. Observo que en el instrumental tiene incorporado elementos digitales modernos.
Video editing program? The DH-104 is an aircraft beautiful

beautiful video and flight! how old is this dove? unique looking aircraft ! rob
nice flight but were the pilots sit and control the airplane isn't called the flight deck. it's called the cockpit. Flight decks is what you call the top of an aircraft carrier. Other than, nice video. Would be cool to see one here in the US.
To be inclusive we must call it the flight deck because cock&puss pit just doesn't fly.
How come this has Rolls-Royce engines? Doves normally had DH Gipsy Queens. I know there were some later, US, turbo-prop conversions but what's the story behind this Dove?
What was the RED tab on each wing at the outside of the engine nacelle.
I think it shows that wheels are up.
@@eple69 That was my first idea, or the flaps. But when it comes in to land the tab hasn't moved. ?
In flight it is close to wing surface on approach with gear down its raised from wing surface showing position of undercarriage
Why do the engines have a Rolls Royce emblem on the side. I thought the Dove used De Havilland Gypsy Queen engines.
It is an LTU emblem -not R.R.
It's definitely a Rolls Royce emblem
Those are not two-bladed Gypsy Queens. I lived on the boundary of DH Engine Plant airfield at Leavesden and grew up with the products of DH.
@@johnjephcote7636 I don't know why the aircraft has the Rolls-Royce logos on the cowls, but those are Gipsy Queens driving three-bladed props. The Heron had tow-bladed props.
It deserves a pair of P & W turbine engines.
