Photo Comment

This Devon (originally delivered in Dec 1948) last flew in the early 1980s (as G-KOOL) and arrived in Redhill in 1985, on delivery to the East Surrey College as a gate guard. In 2000 it was donated to Daniel & Kevin Hunt's East Surrey Aviation Group (ESAG). Following brief spells at the Territorial Army Centre in Redhill and at Goodwood Aerodrome, it returned to Redhill in Nov 2002 for a full restoration. Painted in full RAF markings in 2004. ESAG became the Wings Museum at Redhill in 2007, which in 2009 moved to Balcombe, but this Devon remained behind at Redhill, as seen here. Acquired by the Yorkshire Air Museum in Nov 2010.
