Classic Wings Sightseeing Flight Over London In DH89-A Dragon Rapide 'Nettie'

One of my favourite past times is flying with Classic Wings at Duxford. After four cancellations due to unsuitable weather, we finally take to the air in 'Nettie' - DH-89A Dragon Rapide TX310, heading out over Harlow, Essex and then crossing the River Thames at the 02 Arena, taking in the sights of London.

I flew on “nettie” around 3 weeks ago, it was an amazing experience

My mum did exactly the same flight from heathrow, probably around 1958, the cost, ten shillings and six pence, I have a photograph of her boarding the aircraft at the viewing compound area, pre queens building

Wow! It’s a bit cheaper than I paid lol

Would love to have another flight in one of planes again. Used them fairly regularly back in the 1950s from Renfrew to the Isle of Barra, one I remember was G-AHKS and KZB, B E A flights etc. We landed on the beach when the tide was out, all good fun for a youngster !
