EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the first de Havilland DH51, registration number G-EBIM, undergoing a significant transformation into the DH51A configuration. The de Havilland DH51 was a two-seat biplane trainer and touring aircraft, renowned for its versatility and durability. However, this particular aircraft received an upgrade with the implementation of single-bay wings and full-span automatic, camber-changing flaps. The conversion of G-EBIM to the DH51A configuration marked a significant advancement in aviation technology for the time. The new single-bay wings provided improved aerodynamics and stability, while the full-span automatic, camber-changing flaps enhanced lift and allowed for better control during takeoff and landing. The de Havilland Aircraft Company, known for its innovative designs, was at the forefront of aviation technology during the interwar period. The DH51A configuration was a testament to their commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation to meet the evolving needs of aviation. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of aviation, as the first de Havilland DH51 undergoes a metamorphosis, ready to take to the skies once more with its new and improved features. The intricate details of the aircraft's design are on full display, from the sleek lines of the wings to the meticulously crafted engine components. The image serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and passion that drove the aviation industry forward during this era.
