• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

But wasn't the Devon simply the military version of the Dove twin - this is a later and bigger 'cousin' so may not necessarily have the same design features (?)
 
Devon and Dove have the spar, too. :)

And Ian, why were you having to jump aboard a moving aircraft??

Somebody might want to edit the topic title from DH144 to DH114 Heron... there wasn't a DH144...

Does this make me a rivet counter?

Would have been nice not to make that initial mistake, but I just figured it wasn't that important that this stage, and so didn't do anything about it. But if a moderator would like to correct the number, then by all means! :)

It was just the moment, invited for a twin rating as a sack spuds, aircraft come around from the back of Wigram.. saved a half click run , pulled around, kept everything running, door flicked open and jumped in and off we went . :untroubled:

Nice work, mods.
Looking forward to this one! :jump:
 
A first look at the external, in bare metal for now as the paint schemes have yet to be chosen. Exhausts, gear door and other parts are not textured yet, and work on the undercarriage is underway. Still lots to do!

:)
