This MCW Metroliner now lives at Jurby in the Isle of Man. It began life as E99 AAK, operated by Yorkshire Traction. Now it is painted in the livery of National Express Rapide, a network of express coach services with extras like on-board drinks and snacks, served by stewards or stewardesses, who doubled as drivers in some cases.
Designed in the 1930s the de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide was one of many reasonably successful light commercial transports of the era. The outbreak of war was to see production soar to keep pace with demand for communications and navigation trainers. After the war, hundreds of ex-service aircraft came onto the market, and the faithful old bi-plane was to become an important part of the post war boom in commercial aviation, flying in a multitude of roles from scheduled airliner to fun flier.
This one flew across North Wales and is seen here in the Snowdon area, but this it has a different area of operation now.
I have flown on this actual plane, out of Caernarfon air field in August 1989.

The de Havilland Dragon Rapide is a classic British twin-engine biplane used for short-haul passenger flights and utility transport. It gained popularity in the 1930s and was also used in various roles during World War II. Known for its reliability and comfort, it remains a cherished vintage aircraft.
Taken by my late Father-in-law at Lands End long before my wife was born. Scanned from an old slide we just found. No interest to her, plenty of interest to me :-)
