Evening all!
Can anyone tell me the status of the Dove 8 G-ARSN/G-LIDD which served with the Irish Air Corps as 201.It was sold to Australia and operated as Dove Air in NSW, is it still flying ?
Many thanks for any help.
Regards
Tony K

Hi Tony,

The Dove 8 in question is C/N04525, now registered VH-OBI, it is currently stored in the WW2 liberator hangar at Tocumwal in NSW and has not flown since 2006
Cheers, Dan

Hi Guys,

There were a couple of Dove/Devons at Wanaka in NZ some years ago in the “museum” next to the airfield. Are they still there and if so might they be a source of spares as they didn’t look like “flyers”.

i Believe one of the Devons could be close to flying again, they were chasing FCU’s for it a little while ago. as for the other i dont know, I havent done much chasing up on the NZ Devons yet, still sorting out where all the Aussie ones are.
Cheers Dan.

VH-EOB Devon. It is still in Mackay/Sarina, Qld. Think it now resides on a plinth at Sarina. I Know Emmet O’Brien had plenty of spares in 2012. I don’t know who the owner is tho’ 🙁

Hi Bleeming,
if you could confirm where EOB is it would be much appreciated. I have been try to Contact Emmet O’Brian but the number I found in the phone book just rings out if you have contact details could you PM me please.
Cheers, Dan
