Yesterday I went to the 50th anniversary celebration for Røros airport in Norway. One of the participants was a D.H. Heron as that was the type to open the airport when new in 1957. The plane they got for the show was a Lycoming powered Heron, N415SA based in Vesterås, Sweden. Whilst talking to the pilot Arnold Sundquist (in light shirt) I got the chance to take a look inside the plane. It is equipped as an executive transport complete with leather chairs and a sink. As I understood it this is the only Heron currently flying. Mr. Sundquist then told me that the a/c is presently up for sale. If there is anyone on this forum that have a Heron on their “want list” or knows someone who does, let me know, and I will forward contact with the owner.
