DH-89a Rapide Cranwell-East Kirkby (FSX dusk flight)

De Havilland DH-89a Rapide on a hazy evening flight over the UK from College Cranwell RAF-Base to the former WW2 base of East-Kirkby.

The DH-89 wears one of the most beautiful FS repaints in my opinion.

Greats ones! And some of them much great ones! And a serene flight! And like you state, a much fine livery for that De Haviland

 

On the other hand, I wonder whether the DH89 generally, was not used by varied illustrious characters by early WW2. I think French de Gaulle flew a DH89 from Bordeaux to England, when fleeing the invasion of France, or even Spaniard General Franco when he flew from Morocco to Spain by the early Spanish Civil War some years before :pilot: De Haviland likely was such a provider of such workhorse planes at the time?

Great shots, my friend! Looks like you kept the wheel-pants dry, for a change!;)

Gerard and Zippy: much appreciated! :):) These birds even flew in South America and the US. There was no liquid challenge nearby.....;) Only in the bar...:o:o

Oh, and I have no clue why pt.2 is posted twice! :mad: Must be Rick's fault! PAH!

Amazing scenery and flight, by an amazing pilot !

Thanks very much Jim! :) I'm glad you recognize me as an amazing pilot. You're very right. Oh, next time you also have to admit I'm VERY handsome. Thanks again. You're a real friend.

You are 100% correct Jan.

Eeeh, this laughter, has it anything to do with me? HUH! :eek:

Super pics. of your DH-89a Rapide Jan. I have not seen one around here for quite a while. The RAF scenery looks good as well. :cool: :cool: :cool: :)

Thanks Larry, there are a lot of WW2 fields available for the UK in FSX.:)

Nice to see you flying a proper airplane, lots of wire holding the wings together. Actually one of my all time favourites as well.

Mine as well Mervyn, thanks for your comment! :)

Awesome pretty, nice flying "Luxury Comfortable"

 

Oh YES! :)

 

Cool pic!

Found it on Internet :)

Fine one too! But isn't it something looking like water -- rain water indeed, but water -- nearing the landing gear of the plane?! :):):)

Ah, and what "old habits" do you mean dear Michael? :mad:
