EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, De Havilland Dragon VH-AQU takes center stage at Bankstown Airport in Sydney, Australia, in September 1958. The De Havilland Dragon, a versatile and popular aircraft during the post-war era, is seen taxing on the tarmac, its propellers casting long shadows on the pavement. VH-AQU was a part of the Marshall Airways fleet, a renowned Australian aviation company that operated a variety of aircraft for private and corporate clients. This particular Dragon was a favorite among pilots and passengers for its comfort, reliability, and agility in the sky. The De Havilland Dragon, a twin-engine, multi-role aircraft, was originally designed for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. Its versatility made it a popular choice for both civilian and military applications, including passenger transport, cargo carrying, and even as a trainer. The photograph captures a moment in time when aviation was still a new and exciting industry. The De Havilland Dragon, with its sleek lines and powerful engines, represented the future of air travel. The airport scene is bustling with activity, with other aircraft in the background, adding to the sense of movement and energy. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation in Australia and the important role that companies like Marshall Airways played in making air travel accessible to a wider audience. It is a reminder of a time when the sky was the limit, and the possibilities of flight were endless. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era in aviation history. It is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast, historian, or collector, and a beautiful addition to any wall in a home or office. Rights Managed by Mary Evans Picture Library.
