EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and elegance of a de Havilland DH.89a Dragon Rapide, registration number G-AEXO (msn 6368), as it approaches the runway at Croydon Airport in the late 1930s. The Dragon Rapide, a versatile and popular aircraft of its time, was manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company and first registered to North Eastern Airways Ltd. on May 19, 1937. Before being registered to North Eastern Airways, this particular aircraft, with its distinctive green and white livery, served in the Royal Air Force under the designation X8507. Impressed into military service on March 26, 1940, it was struck off charge on June 13, 1941. The Dragon Rapide was a significant aircraft in the era of flying transport, capable of carrying up to 12 passengers and a pilot. Its twin engines ensured reliability and safety, making it a popular choice for both private and commercial use. The aircraft's sleek design and distinctive shape are on full display in this photograph, as it prepares to touch down at Croydon Airport. This photograph is a testament to the rich aviation history of the 1930s and the important role that Croydon Airport played in the development of commercial aviation in the UK. The Dragon Rapide, with its storied past, continues to be a beloved icon of aviation history and a reminder of the thrill and excitement of early aviation.
