In addition to Public Service Broadcasting’s “Spitfire Bird” referred to above may I also refer honourable members to the very fine “Spitfires” by Chris Wood.
I think you have confused the DH-89 Rapide with the straight DH-84 Dragon. Yes, there are quite a few DH-89 Rapides, but it seems there are very few DH-84 Dragons flying now. “
Uncle Les did not own the aircraft, in fact I don’t think he flew it very often as my forty year old recollection is that we took another pilot with us becuase uncle was not current on it but the aircraft he noramlly flew was not available. It meant that my sister had her first flight five years later in a Britannia 737 but she isn’t that interested in aviation anyway.
