I’d also try:

Elvington (it would go nicely with their Herald)
Norwich (would go nicely with theirs too – and their F-27)
East Midlands Aeropark

Dayton example appears to have been privately owned prior to restoration in the ealy ’60s.

The Drover is culturally pretty significant to Australians – it was built specifically for the Flying Doctor service, which is world famous, and something they’re justifiably proud of.

This must push a few buttons with Australians and Australian businesses in the UK? The DH Museum is clearly the right place for it – and surely having it there would attract Australian visitors – it’s the only one in Europe. It could even help raise money for the Flying Doctor Service.

Why not approach the Australian High Commission, Qantas, Fosters Lager etc for some support? Doesn’t seem an earth-shattering amount of money to save a very rare, unique and significant aircraft.
