Shuttleworth Trust-owned de Havilland Dragon Rapide in the colours it wore flying for British European Airways in 1950's.
The de Havilland Dragon Rapide was perhaps the most successful British-built short-haul commercial passenger aircraft of the 1930s. Hundreds more, re-named Dominies, were built during WWII, mainly for use by the RAF and Fleet Air Arm as radio and navigation trainers. G-AEBJ was built as a Dominie in 1945, but was immediately civilianised as a DH 89a. It served with various owners and spent over nine years flying with British European Airways. It is owned by the Shuttleworth Trust and is painted in the colours it wore while flying for BEA in the 1950's.
