 Dragon Rapide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Dragon Rapide is a development of the de Havilland Aircraft Company's DH 84 Dragon which was first flown from de Havilland's works on 24 November 1932.
Designated the DH 89 "Rapide", the 9 seat aircraft was powered by two de Havilland Gipsy "Six" engines of 200 hp, giving a maximum speed of approximately 160 mph, a cruising speed of about 130 mph and a range of nearly 600 miles.
When sold by BEA in 1964, "SH" was their last Rapide and therefore the last biplane ever operated by what is now British Airways.
