Resplendent in her new British Eagle livery to replace the KLM stage-costume she wore in the film "Bride Flight", G-APSA looks every inch a 50s thoroughbred airliner.

  

The DH89 Dragon Rapide was designed in 1933 as a faster, more passenger-friendly development of the de Havilland DH84 Dragon. Effectively it was a scaled-down version of the four-engined DH86 Express. But where the DH86 exhibited several vices, the Rapide proved to be a delight to fly. The comfortable cabin and gentle flying characteristics made it popular with passengers; as a result the Rapide became the mainstay of British commercial air travel throughout the 30s.

Developed from the successful military observation monoplane of WW2, the J1 Autocrat was conceived as a civil touring aircraft. The capacity for a third passenger gave it a useful advantage over competitors like the Piper Cub and Luscombe

    

The prototype Prentice first flew in 1946. The aircraft was also used by the Argentinian and Indian Air Forces as well as the RAF. Many of the Navigators and Radio operators of the RAF in the 50s learned their trade in these aircraft
