For its third release in the series, we see the Devon C1 with identification number VP975, as used by the Royal Aircraft Establishment based on the south coast of England. Resplendent with its white upper fuselage, with dark blue to the wings, upper tail surfaces and side fuselage, the underside is painted in silver. The RAF roundels are prevalent, too, indicating its military status. An interesting touch sees a white and gold stripe running from the tail, along the sides of the aircraft and round the nose cone. The Royal Aircraft Establishment lettering is printed above the passenger windows on both sides. The interior cockpit and instrument panels are finished in grey whilst the cabin area and passenger seating - designed to take between 8 and 11 passengers - are given a beige colour scheme.

The Royal Aircraft Establishment was subsequently named the Royal Aerospace Establishment before further mergers saw the name disappearing altogether, becoming part of the Defence Research Agency.
