EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the de Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide, registration G-ADAH, of Allied Airways, parked at Dyce Airfield in Scotland post-World War II. The Dragon Rapide, a versatile and popular British transport aircraft, was manufactured by de Havilland between 1934 and 1946. With its distinctive streamlined design and twin engines, the Dragon Rapide was known for its speed, range, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for both civilian and military applications. This particular aircraft, G-ADAH, was one of over 300 Dragon Rapides built for the Royal Air Force during the war, where it served as a liaison and communication aircraft. After the war, it was returned to civilian ownership and became part of the Allied Airways fleet. Here, it is seen in its post-war livery, with the distinctive red and blue roundels of Allied Airways adorning its wings. The photograph captures the essence of the post-war aviation scene, with the Dragon Rapide standing proudly against a backdrop of a quiet and peaceful airfield. The image is a testament to the enduring popularity and versatility of the Dragon Rapide, which continued to serve in various roles well into the jet age." This photograph is a rare and evocative glimpse into the history of aviation, showcasing the de Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide, G-ADAH, of Allied Airways, in its post-war glory at Dyce Airfield. The Dragon Rapide's distinctive design and versatile capabilities made it a beloved aircraft among pilots and passengers alike, and this image is a fitting tribute to its legacy.
