No luck from your link Dan. I haven't seen a Dove or Heron for FS since FS98. Shame as these 2 aircraft mean a great deal to me. If anyone does see one please let me know too.

standby 1, i'm on the prowl...

Hi  Dan TLUK thanks for the link found a Heron on one of them, but at the risk of sounding fussy it isnt a very good likeness, having said that its a lot better than I could do

ok, been looking everywhere, coincidentally while watching the 'Thriller' vid i just downloaded..

aaand I can't find a darned thing. Nothing on nonodes, doesnt seem to be on Avsim (even though that search is naff in my eyes) and our great SimV seems devoid of the plane here.

So, I went hunting for 3 view to post. And.. no such luck. Nothing on aviacherteg, airwar, combataircraft, suurland (now thats a first) and I don't go to any other sites for 3 views.

looks like we're stuck then? Unless someone else knows of a fs version or 3 views?

if you want pictures try www.oldprops.f9.co.uk they have lots of lovely planes there. Regards Chris

After all, isn't a Dove a twin engined Heron?

pretty much looks like she is, Felix.  8)

Basically yes, but there's slightly more to it than that. If anything the Heron was a 4-engined Dove.

which is why one is the 104 and the other 114?

Hi
        the Heron carried more passengers farther than the Dove  Regards Chris

which is why one is the 104 and the other 114?

In this case yes but, as you know, this is not always so. Manufacturer's numbers often run out of sequence. The DH.104 Dove was intended as a Rapide replacement. The first prototype, G-AGPJ, first flew at Hatfield on September 25, 1945, and featured twin De Havilland Gipsy Queen 71 (supercharged) engines (with 3-bladed props) and a retractable landing gear based on the Vampire fighter.

The original Heron, G-ALZL, flew on May 19, 1950 and featured four De Havilland Gipsy Queen 30 engines (unsupercharged with 2-bladed props) and a fixed undercarriage. This was the Series 1. The later Series 2 had retracting gear.

The Saunders Corporation of Canada converted several existing Heron airframes with 2 PT6A turboprops & other improvements which became the Saunders ST 27. They also built some from scratch as the ST 27B, later the ST 28.

more importantly.. anyone found anything on this birdy yet?
