EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.114 Heron 2B CA+001 (msn 14108) of the Luftwaffe, dating back to approximately 1957. The de Havilland DH.114 Heron was a versatile twin-engine, short takeoff and landing (STOL) transport aircraft, designed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom. The Heron 2B, specifically, was an improved version of the original Heron, featuring more powerful engines, increased payload capacity, and improved avionics. This particular aircraft, CA+001, was delivered to the Luftwaffe, the military air force of West Germany, as part of their fleet of Heron aircraft. The image captures the Heron in its element, with its distinctive twin-boom design and distinctive markings of the German military. The aircraft's wings are folded, indicating that it is either being prepared for storage or transported by road. The Heron was renowned for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for operations in remote or austere environments. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation, particularly the post-war era of military aviation. The de Havilland DH.114 Heron was a pioneering aircraft in its class, and its legacy continues to be felt in modern short takeoff and landing aircraft. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, and offers a unique perspective on the history of flight and transportation.
