  1. Not sure I’ve seen this plane before, seems a mix of older dual wing tech with a more modern fuselage.

    It’s a British (de Havilland) built aircraft – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Dragon_Rapide – built in the 1930s and quite a few still flying. I took my grandson for a 10 minute pleasure flight in one a few weeks ago. Made from canvas, wood, string and sticky tape!

  3. Ahhhh thank you. I thought these were all built in Canada? I believe some newer models are used in Alaska and Canada as bush aircraft. As well as built in Canada? I’ve seen them in many countries.

    I think a lot of British designed aircraft were built in Canada and the US – especially during WW2 when our factories in the UK were getting bombed.
