- Mark takes Scottie stop visit an old flame.....an aircraft that he flew at the start of his career, the Handley Page Dart Herald. This was Mark's first real airline job and he has found memories of flying this ageing aircraft.
This particular aircraft appeared in the Netflix series The Crown as it was the one that HRH Prince Philip flew in on his South American tour.
We hope that you enjoy a walk down memory lane for Mark as he takes Scottie to visit an old flame!!

That was fascinating! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
The first aircraft I ever flew in as a teenager in 1972 - BIA Belfast - Blackpool - fond memories
Fond memories of Air UK operating the Herald into Aberdeen in the 1980's. If you're fancying a trip further north, East Fortune could be a fun day out!
Maybe soon. We are always looking for avgeek adventures.
Fantastic video and insight. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Saw Channel Express Heralds in Guernsey in 1994. Fond memories
Very interesting, one suggestion for a show could be visiting Kemble and the buccaneers.
We love visiting any site that has an avgeek history.
For those interested the Irving Beak referred to by Mark at 19.53 is a fairing that extended the full length of the rudder and protrudes into the tail fin. Its movement inside the fin creates venturi effects to assist movement of the rudder against high air loads.
I remember this very aircraft (in BAF colours) providing pleasure flights at the 1977 Blackbushe Air Festival. Not too far from where she sits today!
Wow. That must've been awesome.
Awesome video. One would earn their paycheck flying this bird.
I think so too! Not something the playstation age would relish!
Utterly fantastic! The best half hour I’ve had this week. Thank you both so much.
Glad you enjoyed it Mark. More to come.
Fascinating! I have fond memories of seeing British Island Airways Heralds at Gatwick in the early 70s as a young boy. Dug out some photos from Guernsey airport from 1988 with shots of a Channel Express Herald G-CEXP after watching your film! Thanks for your company. Best wishes Steve
Glad you enjoyed it Steve.
Also, Never apologise for looking up for aircrafts lol. Regarding my first experience standing with pilots chatting, upon hearing a plane overhead we all looked up, I felt at home it was awesome!
Its a habit with these two!!
The most unique aircraft indeed, between the autopilot, fueling scenario and the "pressurized" cabin LOL coupled with the experiences, this plane was a sure doozy lol this was fun! Only recommendation is for the audio, you guys are somewhat soft and then the outro music catches me because it's much louder. Otherwise you guys are great!
Thanks for the feedback. We will try and sort that....we are feeling our way with the editing stuff.
