MEANWHILE AT THE BACK OF THE HANGAR ...

My latest project is bubbling away quite nicely - it's the D.H. 84 Dragon, a forerunner of the better known D.H. 89. The aircraft was launched in 1932 leading to a total production of about 200. Three are said to be flying still today.

It was a pilot plus 6/7 seater built for short range small airline use. Although it features the classic D.H. fin & tail unit, the wings are very different in shape. They also fold for storage.
Plenty of work left to do yet -
Cheers :cheers:

BTW - I've recently republished my Auster J1 for FS9 over at FlightSim.com as part of my re-housing project of my BritSim aircraft.

Thanks Chaps - yes, there's a few more left in the de Havilland stable to be modelled yet 0:)
I plan to make the spats vanish and re-appear at the click of a mouse in order to give Peter every help in painting choices. There will also be two (non-clickable) fusealge versions to accomodate the two distinctive windows layouts on the ? MK1 & MK2 versions ... maybe :worried:
Cheers :cheers:

I fear I have insulted the wrong Brit! So, I will repeat my insult here. When do we get our hands on this piece of Brit work, anyway?
