UK1 X9450 DH DragonRapide 1999-09-05 to G-AEML Shoreham CGWLeesonPhoto.jpg
"Joseph Testagrose" wrote in message ... A DH Dragon Rapide was the first aircraft I ever flew in; this was at the age of of about 5 or 6 in 1947/48, a 10 shilling pleasure flight from what is now Heathrow Airport. I can recall throwing a tantrum and being absolutely petrified of going up in one of those things. I was eventually put on board and strapped in and still had my eyes tightly shut as the plane took off. I then felt the feeling of being airborne was so familiar, almost as if I'd done it before. On landing I'm told I went into another sobbing tantrum ........ I wanted to 'go around again'. So I'm wondering, do any of you knowledgeable folks know which company was using Dragon Rapides for joy rides from Heathrow in those days ? I've searched online but as yet not come up with any answers. ~~ Dingo ;~)
