de Havilland DH.89B Dominie In The Air

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

I got to ride co- pilot in one when I was a kid. You cant believe how awesome they are. One of those things you must experience to truly know what I mean. What a great memory this video helped me to relive. Thank you. 🤘🔥🤘

Had a flight in one once, was a beautiful aircraft to ride in. Sounded lovely with great visibility

[@ThinkingManNeil]

Great vid! Surely one of the most elegant aeroplanes ever to fly

[@rocketman63]

Such a beautiful plane, and I love the mellow engine tone. I'd give my eyeteeth for a ride aboard one on such a lovely sunny day! The sepia effect at the start and finish is a mind-blower, certainly brings home that this is a craft from the Golden Age.

My first flight as a boy was in a Dragon Rapide, my father worked at Hurn for DH at the time and arranged the flight. We flew from Hurn Airport out over our house and did a circuit around the Isle of White. I loved it and the Rapide just looks so good.

[@robw7676]

I love the Rapide - it's such a glamorous aircraft

[@Gypples]

What a neat looking plane. The engine placement is really interesting.

[@airzulu2733]

We have several Rapide.s flying around the UK. Beautiful aircraft .

[@WeazelJaguar]

Beautiful! It was also used as a float plane in British Columbia, Canada !

[@vaughanlockett658]

I fell in love with this Aircraft as a young child.

[@DustyCowdog]

Beautiful aircraft! Thanks!

[@donhutton72]

I flew from Hokitika to Haast in a Dominie, maybe it was this one. It was my first ever aeroplane flight at age 16. Unforgettable!

[@vostock83]

What a beautiful old plane, it is a rare treat to see one.

[@MrDaiseymay]

My all-time favourite aeroplane. What a beaut. I nearly had a trip in one 10 years ago, at the Duxford air show, but a family member became ill, and we had to get back to Cambridge quick. This babe screams --ART DECO--at it's sreamline best.

[@stevelogan5475]

I do not know much about this plane, but it appears that it would have some serious manuever capabilities

[@fritagogo1]

;-)beautiful plane... DH89 The Speed after the DH84

[@johnwike881]

I had my first flight (aged about 7) in a rapide at Manchester airport (uk). Thanks to my uncle Ernie who paid the 10/- (50p) for me to go up. Manchester airport consisted of a few wooden sheds covered in black tarpaper

[@joaocarlossilvagoncalves6371]

Beautiful, simply beautiful

[@the10thleper]

Beautiful airplane, I love this classic. Always thought it was under powered with the engines that look too small. Still love it, I need to find a 1/48 scale model of it and paint British roundels with camouflage paint pattern.

[@barrierodliffe4155]

Two 9.1 litre Gipsy 6 engines, not so powerful but good engines and enough power for the aircraft

[@MGB1977Red]

Only the brits could dream up such an elegant and goofy aircraft as this. I notice that the camera ship has the same wings and braces at 2:38 which makes this a rather special flight. There's a lot of DH Comet in this design which at least looked speedy. I imagine that full power would tilt the nose up some so hopefully there is a decent trimmer on board as opposed to the Moth's bungee cord.

The photographer was getting close, you can tell by the perspective.

[@airplanegeorge]

o ya, nice video , thanks

[@topspeed10]

After the Fokker crash in Kansas in 1931 the FAA banned all wood aircraft in the USA. What a shame !

[@leneanderthalien]

+topspeed10 banned? i think not: the Hugues H4 named "spruce goose" was built in wood (1947)...

[@topspeed10]

Yes that was an exception...made of wood 70% strongeer than aluminium, called duramold.

[@chubbaustralia]

magnificent :)

[@airplanegeorge]

dumas makes a kit for a dh89 for less than 100 dollars that would probably make a good elec scale rc model. . Anyone ever build or fly one?

[@AdenThie]

whats the rego on that rapide?

[@HistAvFilmUnit]

ZK-AKY

[@AdenThie]

Thanks

[@donbrynelsen2157]

What's the chase/camera plane?

[@HistAvFilmUnit]

From memory it was the de Havilland Dragon.

[@granskare]

When I visited a Finnish air museum, I was able to purchase several fotos and this was one of them in Finnish colors...unfortunately the real aircraft was not there :(

[@SenorShot]
