Today was an excellent day full of roaring flying machines in a great, gorgeous sunny field.
The highlight was getting back into a 1942 DH.89 Dragon Rapide, that is looking for kind-hearted backers for a return-to-flight restoration. I was kindly allowed to climb all the way up to the cockpit, and take in the view from up there.
A happy Raph in an old Dragon
What a treat!
This was the first day of the 2018 edition of “Le Temps des Hélices”, the yearly airshow presented at La Ferté-Alais by Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis.
Outstanding.
