Yes - The DH89 which did yeoman work for BEA till the mid 50s - and even after that for the Scillies. This was G-AKIF at Duxford. Anyone know if it is still flying?

An aeroplane where the passengers had to be weighed as well as the bags and they tried not to roster a big R/O with a big pilot!

Spot on Sycamore! RAF BE2e.

Open House.

You're right. Not really a cockpit shot. Belongs on "Name That Plane", or even " Silhouette Challenge".

G-AKIF
Thanks for that Kieron - although it doesn't clarify whether it is still flying?
