Photo Comment

Ever since it was first delivered in Aug 1960, this Dove has been a De Havilland / Hawker Siddeley / British Aerospace company aircraft. It was finally withdrawn from use in Sep 1987 and stored at Hatfield. It was transferred to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum Trust on 16 Mar 1995, but not actually delivered to the museum until some time in the second half of 2000. At the time the museum was still called the Mosquito Aircraft Museum / de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre, but in January 2014 they changed their name to the much more appropriate de Havilland Aircraft Museum.
