This black beauty from the 1940s, known as the Vincent Rapide HRD Series C, takes us back to the roaring 40s when style was paramount. But let's not forget about the skies. The de Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide G-AHKA showcases its aerial prowess at an air display in RAF Abingdon. Its counterpart, G-AGUF, owned by Wilson Airways and bearing registration VP-KCG, soars through African skies with grace.

However, our journey doesn't end there; we take flight once again with the De Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide. On April 17th, this aviation legend took its first flight and forever changed history. Aero OY later transformed into Finnair also had their own version of this remarkable aircraft. Last but certainly not least is the De Havilland DH. 89a Dragon Rapide G-AKIF which continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide with its timeless allure.
