EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.84 Dragon, registration number G-ACIT (msn 6039), proudly displayed at the Historic Aircraft Collection situated at Southend Airport around 1978. The DH.84 Dragon, a classic British biplane, was designed and manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company between 1932 and 1936. This particular aircraft, with its distinctive red and silver livery, was a popular choice among private owners and flying clubs due to its versatility and reliability. The DH.84 Dragon could be configured for various uses, including passenger transport, mail delivery, and even ambulance services. In this image, G-ACIT appears to be undergoing routine maintenance at the museum, a testament to the dedication of its preservationists. The meticulously maintained aircraft stands as a reminder of the rich aviation history that unfolded during the interwar period. Its presence at the Historic Aircraft Collection allows visitors to appreciate the engineering marvels of the past and the passion that continues to drive the aviation community. The de Havilland DH.84 Dragon, with its open cockpit, wooden construction, and distinctive wing design, embodies the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of flight.
