“Flying Legends”

De Havilland DH-89A Dominie G-AKIF – Flying Legends Airshow Duxford 2012. The de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide was a 1930s British short-haul biplane passenger airliner. In late 1933, the Dragon Rapide was designed at the de Havilland company as a faster and more comfortable successor to the DH.84 Dragon. It was in effect a twin-engined, scaled-down version of the four-engined DH.86 Express. It shared many common features with the larger aircraft, including its tapered wings, streamlined fairings and the Gipsy Six engine, but it demonstrated none of the operational vices of the larger aircraft, and went on to become perhaps the most successful British-built short-haul commercial passenger aircraft of the 1930s.
