EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we see the de Havilland DH.89B Dominie aircraft, registration number G-AHGD (msn 6862), being refuelled at Southend Airport in the early 1960s. The Dominie, a twin-engine, side-by-side training aircraft, was designed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in the late 1930s. Its introduction marked a significant advancement in aviation training, providing students with a more realistic and authentic flying experience. The Dominie's sleek and elegant design is on full display in this image, with its distinctive rounded wings and streamlined fuselage. The aircraft's livery, adorned with the British Civil Registration markings, adds to its classic and timeless appeal. The photograph captures the moment of refuelling, a crucial aspect of aviation operations, as ground crew members carefully attend to the aircraft's fuel needs. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of other aircraft in the background, hinting at the bustling activity of the airport. The Dominie played a vital role in the training of pilots and navigators during the post-war period, and its impact on aviation education was felt for decades. This photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era in aviation history, a time when the romance and adventure of flying were at the forefront of the public's imagination. The de Havilland DH.89B Dominie, G-AHGD, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry, and a symbol of the enduring allure of flight.
