Royal Navy/Naval Air Command DH114 Heron XM296 - Am I correct in thinking this was known as 'The Admirals Barge' ?

Re: Dove Devon and Heron
Great to see so many familiar airframes from the old days, they were certainly popular with many of the UK corporations of the 1970's. In the 1980's I was a student at Farnborough College, on the old campus that was part of the airfield. The RAE Devons were great as they flew visual approaches to land and this often involved a curved approach over our nissen hut classrooms to runway 24 (or was it 25 back then?).
A few examples from me.
