On the day before the Scottish International Airshow 2017, the Dragonfly was doing a couple of promotional and practice flights. I managed to secure a seat on one.
Once airborne I take the controls for a few minutes. Simultaneously becoming my first biplane, first multi-engine, first tail dragger and the oldest aircraft I have flown. She felt tremendously stable in the air, control felt quiet natural to me aside from needing to use a boot full more rudder than I usually do in banks. A really stunning machine.

One of the most beautiful flying machines to ever grace the skies, only bad thing is, you guys didn't discuss the performance, cruise speed range etc. it would be nice to know.

Great video. They are fun to fly, certainly focus the senses on landing.

Smaller than a Rapide then? Lovely kite. My first flight was in a Rapide from RAF Hendon in '57 and then from Christchurch, Dorset in '62.

The Dragonfly was one of the best early aircraft much loved in New Zealand. ZK-AYR is still flying there. ZK-AFB was “Lost without Trace?” on 12th February 1962 and is still missing. It was so well loved as was the pilot Brian Chadwick an English born aviator that when he went missing, the New Zealand SAR conducted the largest and longest ever search throughout the mountains - Southern Alps - where he went down with 4 passengers. They are still actively searching for it. My father filmed Chadwick in his other DH89 3 weeks before and recently I discovered the film and a New Zealand company posted it on RU-vid. It can be viewed - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rdXbYH3KsCU.html and it links with the last few flights of the missing Dragonfly DH90. What a beautiful aircraft and though underpowered it was one of the best from de Havilland.

Things are looking up in the search for the missing 1962 dragonfly ZK-AFB. It would be useful to know exactly where the pitot vent and static vents are on the Dragonfly as they are not referred to in the old handbook of Paul Beauchamp Legg. When you were shown the walk-round, can you recollect where you saw and checked those vents for flies etc? This could be valuable info. Many Thanks
