Oxford Diecast DH89 Dominie HG709 RNAS Culdrose 1:72 Model Aircraft
The De Havilland Dominie was essentially a Dragon Rapide Mk I, a twin-engined bi-plane which had been introduced in the 1930s as a highly successful short-range 6-8 seater passenger aircraft. The production of the Rapide continued during WWII, whose main purpose was as a navigation trainer, personnel carrier as well as an air ambulance and was first delivered to the Royal Navy in 1940. Powered by two 150kW D H Gipsy Queen engines, it had a top speed of 157 mph (250 km) and a range of 575 miles (920 km). It accommodated a pilot, and radio operator and six passengers.

I purchased this for my 97 year old Dad. He instantly recognized this aircraft. He is a former pilot having spent many years in Tiger Moths. He was delighted with it. ( I have purchased Tiger Moths for him previously from you.) Out of the corner of my eye I saw him hold it up and banking it to the left. In his eyes he was the pilot.
