Although decorated in a bright white, red and silver colour scheme instead of the characteristic yellow and black we normally associate with the construction company, the JCB lettering style is instantly recognisable in black on the red tail fin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe De Havilland DH.104 Dove was a short-haul airliner developed and produced by the famous British aircraft manufacturer from 1945 until 1967. It was one of Britain's most successful post-war aircraft, used primarily for civilian use on short-haul flights as a link to major airways. Developed as a direct competitor to the surplus military aircraft being converted after World War II, its key attributes comprised a completely metal structure, constant speed propellers, flaps and a retractable tricycle undercarriage. It was also modified for military use - the Devon and Sea Devon used by the RAF and the Royal Navy respectively. Many of the Dove's special characteristics feature on our model, which carries the civilian number G-ARJB in black on the rear fuselage and lower wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its civilian capacity, with passenger seating of between eight and eleven passengers, it was ideal for standard passenger service but by removing rear luggage compartments and toilet facilities, the space could be extended for executive travel. Perhaps this is where its use by Mr Joseph Cyril Bamford and executive team came into play. The crew complement usually comprised a pilot and radio operator and the Dove was considered to have really easy flying capabilities. A few Doves remained in service until very recently, operated particularly by small commercial companies and private pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJCB is a familiar name in Oxford Diecast circles where the extensive range of miniature JCB construction vehicles becomes more highly detailed as each release appears. The name JCB is synonymous with construction and it is now a generic word in the Oxford English Dictonary for such vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoseph Cyril Bamford founded his company in October 1945, immediately after World War II in Rocester in Staffordshire. Like many far-sighted engineering geniuses, he started small, renting a small lock-up garage with his only tools being a second-hand welding set. His first vehicle was a tipping trailer made from surplus wartime materials - the sides were sheet steel from air raid shelters. With the sale proceeds he made a second trailer and within 3 years, he had six people working for him. Today, the company - Joseph Cyril Bamford Excavators Ltd is still a private company with Anthony Bamford as Chairman and Jo Bamford as CEO. Still concentrating on construction, agriculture, waste handling and demolition machinery, JCB now employs approximately 11,000 people and has a turnover of £3.35 billion; quite a hike from the £45 sale price of the first ever JCB manufactured in that rented garage back in 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere to land your latest DH.104 Dove is left up to you - will it be alongside other aircraft of the period or will it complement your JCB series?

Originally De Havilland produced this six seater bi-plane from 1932 as a small commercial aircraft for short-haul flights. EI-ABI operated the first Aer Lingus service, flying on the Dublin to Bristol route from May 1936. In the build-up to World War II, the original aircraft was sold to the UK but was sadly lost during the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo commemorate the original EI-ABI, another DH84 which was built in 1936 and which was also commandeered during the War but fortunately survived, underwent several ownerships from 1946 onwards, before being taken out of service in 1959 and put into storage in Ireland. There it stayed until being bought by Air Lingus in 1967 and decorated to represent the original EI-ABI and stored at Dublin Airport. Following other cosmetic makeovers and a spell as a static display in the Irish Aviation Museum, a restoration team was put to the task of making the aircraft airworthy, at the same time getting the necessary permission from the aviation authorities to re-number the plane as an accurate replica of the original. With a new Certificate of Airworthiness, It took to the air in April 1986, exactly 50 years on from its first flight.
