DH-89A Dragon Rapide & DH-90 Dragonfly At The Edwardian Pageant 2017

What two beautiful aircraft. Such historic pieces that are so rare. I know of ZK-AYR in New Zealand and that was to have been displayed last month at Christchurch to fly at the 60th anniversary of the disappearance of ZK-AFB on 12 Feb 1962. Alas Covid prevented the gathering of old passengers relatives of the missing etc. However the search is still going on. We would appreciate a note of where the pitot and static vents are on the DH90 as we cannot find that from the only handbook we have from Paul Beauchamp Legg. Hope you can help as something has come up and this knowledge could assist greatly. Many thanks. Robin.

Hi Robin, G-AEDU is owned by Shipping & Airlines at Biggin Hill, you could try getting in touch with them

@@robhaytonairshowvideos9853 Thanks for this information. I did notice the windmill on the top port wings leading edge which may have been for the wind speed. The DH89s often had wind generators at that point but still had pitot tubes. I will try the company at Biggin Hill in the morning. Cheers.
