EDITORS COMMENTS
Two De Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapides grace the tarmac at Nairobi Airport in this photograph. The De Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide, a versatile and popular aircraft during the interwar period, was originally designed as a transport aircraft, but its sleek design and powerful engines made it a favorite among private owners and aviators. In this image, we see two examples of the Dragon Rapide, with registration numbers VP-KCA and unidentified, parked side by side. The aircraft, operated by Wilson Airways, exude an air of elegance and sophistication, their aluminum bodies gleaming in the African sun. The wings, with their distinctive elliptical tips, stretch out, ready for takeoff or landing. The propellers spin lazily, a reminder of the raw power that lies beneath the graceful exterior. Nairobi Airport, then known as East Africa's largest and most modern airport, serves as the backdrop for this scene. The bustling airport, with its mix of modern and colonial architecture, adds to the sense of adventure and excitement. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and rolling hills, completes the picture-perfect tableau. The De Havilland Dragon Rapide, with its unique combination of style, speed, and versatility, remains a beloved aircraft among aviation enthusiasts. This photograph, with its timeless composition and evocative setting, is a testament to the enduring allure of these classic planes.
