Probably as the Sea Devon had a pretty pedestrian role in the FAA, being purely a communications transport aircraft. Main operator was 781 Squadron based at Lee-on-Solent, but one was allocated to each Royal Naval Air Station as a hack for use by the Station Commander. There were a couple painted green and white and one painted blue and white allocated to the the Flag Officer Naval Air Command and known as ‘Admirals’ Barges’. Hope this helps.

ok,

so where is the nearest one to me, Coalville Leicestershire, with easy access with car or even 8 wheel truck for me to take hundreds of close up photos for the detail on the planned drawings.:D

Sorry that I’d missed the earlier request – one of the oldest Dove’s in preservation G-AHRI can be found here – most approaches for photography access are accommodated! 😉

Someone was photographing the Bulldog cockpit yesterday when I was at NAM. 🙂

then that should have the station drawings, i hope,
any chance of a scan of the drawings:D
