de Havilland DH114 Heron 2D
de Havilland Aircraft Museum
Built 1956
C/N 14107
While the museums website says it operated for BEA on the Scottish Highlands & Islands services, as far as I can tell it was delivered to Rolls Royce as a company transport. Sold to Aces High in Jun 1982, Topflight Aviation Services in May 1984 and was one of the last Heron's in scheduled service in the UK, before going to Avtech in Aug 1988, reg cancelled in Oct 1995.

This is the only WX-3 prototype roadster, parked on the street in front of a diner. Apparently, it didn't make the cut for the car show, which did feature its sibling brother, the WX-3 coupe.
Can anyone find a page of info or the real version of this car?
I was looking through my old stuff and I saw this, I really like the design of it...
I love Herons.
Avtech of Biggin Hill were storing the two ex-Topflight DH Heron 2s. G-ANUO had served with GEC / Nuclear Power Group, and ended its flying days with Topflight in 1986.
It remained in storage for several years, eventually being put on static display outside Croydon Airport in 1996, in the livery of Heron 1B G-AOXL (which actually had a fixed undercarriage) of Morton Air Services, the last airliner to fly from Croydon in September 1959.
