================================================================= 



This model is of N14FB, a Series 2A Heron used by US Air for 

the commuter service between Mansfield and Cleveland Ohio.

Many thanks to Chris Jacobs who provided a scan of his original

photograph of this scarce aircraft, along with details of its

operating schedules.



The deHavilland Heron was launched in 1950 as the replacement 

for the four engine DH86 biplane. It made use of a large number 

of components from the smaller two engine DH104 Dove, but was 

given four engines and had space for 14 passengers. The original 

Series 1B aircraft used Gipsy Queen 30 engines and were fitted 

with a fixed undercarriage. The later Series 2B were given

retractable undercarriage. A large proportion of Herons were

re-engined with uprated Lycoming IO-540 engines and designated 

as Series 2D, with those certified to the US standards as 

Series 2A.
