I made this a while ago so there may be some styling choices I made back then that I wouldn't have today :lol:
Nice job!

Normally I wouldn't make two posts back-to-back on the same day but I wanted to make sure it was obvious this was a new drawing that hasn't been uploaded to the archive yet.
That 757 is stunning! :o

Fantastic entries indeed, particularly the liveries on 748's by Kiwi Imperialist and inclusion of less-known old aircraft by Reytuerto (though I don't quite like the grey framing of cockpit windows on some of them ;) ).

de Havilland DH.84 Dragon

de Havillands twin-engined development of their Moth series, the DH.84 Dragon.

[ img ]

With a request for a twin-engined version of the DH.83 Fox Moth from Hillman's Airways following on from a request for a similar aircraft from the Iraqi air force, de Havillands designed the DH.84 as both an airliner and a light bomber/transport. With exceptional economics the aircraft was an immediate success, and 115 aircraft were sold before production was transferred to the follow-on DH.89 Dragon Rapide.
The Iraqi military model was fitted with nose-mounted guns and an enlaged fin to compensate for the dorsal hatch and machine gun fitting, with a bar arrangment fitted to deflect gunfire from hitting the tail! The Dragon 2 featured individually glazed cabin windows and faired undercarriage struts, and many early aircraft were modified to this standard. Portugal also ordered a militarised version of the Dragon 2 with the enlarged fin, but I cannot find any indication that these aircraft were also armed.

[ img ]

The prototype flew in November 1932, and it and the next 3 aircraft were bought "off the drawing board" by Hillman's Airways and immediately put onto a cross-channel service to France.
Dragons also found private use, and one aircraft was specially modified with fuselage fuel tanks, and as the "Seafarer" was used to attempt extreme long distance flights. Attempting to take-off from England to New York, its undercarriage collapsed due to the overloaded weight of the aircraft. After several days of strengthening and repairs it successfully flew to Conneticut in 39 hours, but was landed badly and overturned. A replacement aircraft was sent to Canada to attempt the flight direct to Baghdad, but it could not get airborne at the weight required.
With the coming of WWII many Dragons were still in service, and continued as civil airliners, but now with camouflage colours.

Good evening, guys!

Some vintage models of interwar and WW2 era:
General Aircraft, a factory better known for the wartime gliders Hopstur and Hamilcar, made during the 1930s a successful family of small airliners, the Monospar, caracterized by wings with only one spar, hence the name. Motorized either with the Pobjoy Niagara 7 cylinder radial, or the de Havilland Gipsy Major 4 cylinder inline, the Monospar was a reliable airplane, used by several countries both in military (even as bombers) and civilian roles.

The Australian CAC Wackett was an indigenous trainer for the RAAF during WW2 years. Motorized with an american Warner Scarab radial, was a stable and sturdy aircraft, that went on to serve in an important (but largely forgotten) role as wireless operator trainers. After the war, a couple of dozens were converted to KS-3 Cropmaster agricultural aircraft.
[ img ]

In 1934, the Vultee V-1A was the fastest airliner in the world: an all metal aircraft, motorized with a powerful Wright Cyclone 9 cylinder radial, and even with an on board toillete, not was only swift, but also reliable and modern. But was short lived because in the same year, a new legislation banned the single engined aircraft from the main US commercial routes. So, most of the manfactured aircraft were bought by the Spanish Republic and 6 were modified as bombers with 2 defensive machine-guns, 2 fixed ones in the wings, and up to 450 kgs in bombs.

The Spartan 7W Executive was a very advanced aircraft of the mid 1930s. It was an all metal, single engined monoplane, with retracted main wheels, despite being equiped with a rather small radial engine, was almost as fast as a fighter of the era. Only 34 were made, 6 were adquired by the Spanish Republic, but only 3 arrived to Spain in 1937. 16 airplanes were used by the USAAF during WWII under the denomination UC-71. Today, a dozen or so Spartan 7W are airworthy.

Finaly another ab initio trainer, the rather unknown VL Viima. Motorized with a german radial, served well to the Finnish Air Force until the early 1960s.

Cheers.
