Smile BOAC Sports Festival 09 June 1951



Another picture of the DH Dragon taken at Denham probably around 1950.
Was this aircraft used for the Board/Committee of Airways Aero Association for their business schedules or just for club members for longer "jollies", possibly abroad, as per Hampshire Aeroplane Club's 4 engined DH 86 Expressliner" G-ACZP owned by Viv Bellamy also in the 1950's ? Peter Masefield who was a director of BEA later owned "CIT" when he was CEO of Beagle Aircraft, I have a photo of the same when it sported a different colour scheme of gold and white markings over a silver fuselage. The original in this picture was a striking red and silver scheme. It would be interesting to hear what use it was put to by the AAA.
