Cumbernald hanger gems

Post by Wbirdnut »

The hangers at Cumbernald Airport hide some wonderful secrets, this glorious
DH Dragon believed to be one of the oldest DH twins in existence.

Was this during a flying visit?

Would love to visit there again but i hear it has been a bit off limits for us spotters and i know there are other things around there i would love to see.

I contacted the owner of the Dragon, G-ACET, to see if he would bring it to any fly-ins or aviation events south of the border, but he wasn't interested. Great shame to have a rare gem hidden away there!

I do know there are some issues which keep it from flying, not able
to say why but when sorted highly likely she will attend airshows.
