The De Havilland Devon was a military variant of the De Havilland Dove, a short-haul airliner developed in 1946 and one of the most successful post-war aircraft. With capacity for 8 - 11 people, the aircraft was powered by two De Havilland Gypsy Queen engines. The DH 104 C1 military version was produced especially for the RAF for transport and communication duties and it is in this role we see it here.

Decorated in an attractive white, silver and royal blue colour scheme to the upper wings and fuselage, the underside is painted silver. The clear canopy reveals the cockpit and instrument panel detail in grey and the passenger area in light tan. Even the propeller spinners are given a royal blue finish. The RAF markings and WB 534 identity round off a very attractive example of this sleek aircraft.
