Barry Walker comments (February 2015): This Dove was a regular visitor to Ipswich in 1964. It was operated for or on behalf of English Electric. Most days it arrived from Leicester in the morning wit senior technicians or scientists concerned with building the Sizewell nuclear power station. It would depart back to Leicester at about 6pm. I hitched a ride on it to Leicester on 31 July 1964. It took about 45 minutes.
