Talk:De Havilland Australia DHA-3 Drover

Australian?
The de Havilland facility in Sydney was really just an assembly plant, and the Drover could not really be described as an Australian design. Unlike their Canadian aircraft, English de Havillands were unfit for purpose. It wasn't just the props that broke. All operators got rid of their Doves/Drovers usually within 12 months of buying them, as it quickly became apparent that they killed bank balances, as well as passengers.220.244.78.196 (talk) 03:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The designer of the Drover, Martin Warner, was an Australian.


 * Perhaps they were a little too technically advanced for your local servicing facilities. OTOH, Doves - and Herons - were used quite successfully in parts of Africa, and they had little trouble with them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.18.220 (talk) 16:45, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * BTW, the Drover's VP propellers were made at DHA's factory at Alexandria, Sydney. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.100.255 (talk) 17:59, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * ... and a three-engined aircraft that will still climb at 240 fpm on one engine isn't in any way underpowered or suffering from a 'lack of power' unless the operators were seriously overloading them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.18.158 (talk) 10:38, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
