EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.84 Dragon, registration G-AECZ (msn 6105), as it gracefully rests on the tarmac at Thruxton Aerodrome during the late 1940s. The Wiltshire School of Flying Ltd. was the proud owner of this iconic aircraft. The de Havilland DH.84 Dragon, a four-seat, single-engine, metal-framed monoplane, was a popular choice for both private and flying schools due to its versatility and reliability. Its sleek design and distinctive rounded wings made it an instantly recognizable addition to the skies. In this image, the Dragon appears in pristine condition, with its silver paintwork gleaming in the sunlight. The red and blue stripes along the wings and fuselage denote its registration number, G-AECZ, which was unique to this particular aircraft. The roundel on the fuselage indicates that it was a British-registered plane, adding to its aeronautical charm. The de Havilland DH.84 Dragon played a significant role in the post-war aviation scene, providing a platform for both training and recreational flying. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Dragon was at the height of its popularity, symbolizing the excitement and freedom that aviation brought to people during this era. The Wiltshire School of Flying Ltd. at Thruxton Aerodrome was an ideal location for the Dragon, as it offered students the opportunity to learn and experience the thrill of flying in this iconic aircraft. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the de Havilland DH.84 Dragon and the passion for aviation that continues to inspire generations.
