EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the sleek lines and elegant design of the de Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide, registration G-AGUF, as it taxis along a grass airstrip on a sun-kissed island. The Dragon Rapide, a British twin-engine transport aircraft produced by de Havilland between 1934 and 1939, was renowned for its versatility, reliability, and ability to operate from short and unpaved runways. G-AGUF, with its distinctive dragon emblem painted on the fuselage, was a proud member of the Island Air Services fleet, providing essential air transport services to various islands in the Caribbean during the mid-20th century. The Dragon Rapide's open cockpit and large windows offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of adventure and exploration. The aircraft's twin engines, mounted on the wings, provide ample power for short takeoffs and landings, making it an ideal choice for island hopping. The Dragon Rapide's spacious cabin, with room for up to nine passengers and two crew members, was equipped with comfortable seats and large windows, offering breathtaking views of the islands and the azure blue waters below. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage aircraft and the spirit of adventure that continues to captivate us. G-AGUF, with its rich history and iconic design, remains a beloved symbol of aviation history and a reminder of the golden age of air travel.
