Jimmy Rollison sent us video from the first flight of the late Bud Field's De Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide on May 18th, and photos from subsequent flights. Jimmy said:
Today she flew, after 36 years, she flew!
I now know why Geoffery de Havilland only put one set of controls in the front of the Rapide......so you don't have to share flying. Like the saying, "the only thing better than sharing a great bottle of wine is having it all to your self". Les Wittlesey, Casa Grande,AZ 2010
I agree with Geoffey and Les.
