About This Aircraft

The de Havilland Devon C.2/2A, VP952, is the military transport version of the successful de Havilland Dove civilian airliner. It served as a reliable communications and light transport aircraft for the Royal Air Force for many decades. Powered by two de Havilland Gipsy Queen inline piston engines, the Devon could accommodate up to eight passengers in comfort. Its low-wing design and tricycle undercarriage made it a stable and easy-to-handle aircraft. Devons served in various roles, from VIP transport with the Queen's Flight to training navigators and signals officers. VP952 served with distinction in various RAF communications squadrons, representing an important chapter in British military aviation heritage.
