De Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide Dutch Air Force ‘Zeeland’ v1.0
This folder contains a repaint for the de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide by Dave Garwood, in the colors of DH89B Dominie #6872 NR796 ‘Zeeland’, which flew with the Dutch Air Force between 1945 and 1956. First with 1316 (Allied) Flight RAF, then after the war with the LSK (early Dutch Air Force). 1948 it flew for a while as PH-VNB as a government aircraft, before going back to the airforce as V-2 ‘Zeeland’ with no.1 TransVA. It was struck off charge in 1956 and sold. Via Britain and France, it ended up as a derelict in Tunisia as F-OBGE and was scrapped in 1974. This paint shows ‘Zeeland’ as it looked when flying with Nr.1 TransVA in the early ’50’s. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Dave Garwood.
