1. Title: The Birth of a Iconic Design: The Prototype de Havilland DH95 Flamingo, G-AFUE 2.. The prototype de Havilland DH95 Flamingo, G-AFUE, captured here in this vintage photograph, represents a significant milestone in the history of aviation design. This open-cockpit biplane, designed by the renowned British aircraft manufacturer de Havilland, was first flown on May 29, 1937, marking the beginning of an era for this iconic aircraft type. The DH95 Flamingo was a versatile and popular design, which was initially intended for the private market. Its distinctive appearance, with its sleek lines, elegant curves, and the vibrant red and silver markings of Guernsey and Jersey Airways adorning its wings, set it apart from other aircraft of its time. The Flamingo was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Six engine, which delivered a cruising speed of around 110 miles per hour. Its spacious cabin, capable of seating five passengers, made it an ideal choice for pleasure flights and short-range transportation. This photograph showcases the prototype Flamingo in its early stages, before it gained widespread popularity and became a staple in the aviation industry. The image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and vision of de Havilland, who, through his designs, contributed significantly to the world of aviation. The DH95 Flamingo continued to be produced until 1947, with over 300 units built during its production run. Today, it remains a cherished piece of aviation history and a symbol of the golden age of flying.
