Railway Air Services (RAS)
Railway Air Services (RAS) was a British domestic airline formed in March 1934 by four railway companies and Imperial Airways. The airline ceased operations on January 31, 1947, with BEA taking over RAS aircraft and routes.
de Havilland DH.84 Dragon
The DH.84 Dragon is a British six to ten-seat, twin-engined, short-haul biplane airliner. It first flew on November 12, 1932, and entered service in April 1933 with Hillmans Airways Ltd. With the outbreak of World War II, Rapides were impressed into military service for use in radio/navigation training, light transport, and air ambulance duties. Production ended in the United Kingdom in 1934, with 115 airframes built, and in Australia in 1943, with 87 completed, replaced by the DH.89 Dragon Rapide. Manufactured in several variants, the Dragon 1; the first variant, Dragon 2, fitted with framed cabin windows and main undercarriage fairings and the DH.84-M, an armed military transport version.
The airframe construction is of wood with a fabric covering. It uses two de Havilland Gipsy Major or Gipsy IIIA, inverted four-cylinder, air-cooled, inline engines mounted on the lower wings. Each drives a two-bladed propeller.
