G-APWF performs a spirited and final fly-by at the Shoreham Airshow held on 26th June 1977.
Ultimately powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Turboprops, the original design initially flew with four Alvis Leonides engines.
The Herald was a rugged design and was very popular back in the late '50's and 60's with many sold abroad.
As their popularity waned a handful of operators including Air UK used them for short haul flights around the UK with their final swansong carrying Newspapers and perishable goods around the British Isles and Channel Islands.
