VBCW, De Havilland Dragon Rapide

I have always had a soft spot for the Dragon Rapide, one of the last biplane airliners and capable of operating from short grass strips.

I took this photo at Headcorn where a Rapide in RAF WWII colours was taking people on joyrides over Kent.

King Edward used one as a royal plane so no VBCW player should be without a model.

    de Havilland certainly knew how to make good looking aircraft. I've been lucky enough to see a few at various airshows, but never got as good a photo as this one!

      Headcorn is a small show so you can get right in close to the 'runway'.

    Excellent shot of this plane! I like this more as the modern ones!
