De Havilland flies again

VINTAGE AIRCRAFT ENTHUSIASTS might like to know that Air Atlantique Classic Flight is organising a UK tour for its de Havilland Rapides to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the prototype’s maiden flight.  The programme kicks off at Oxford (Kidlington) over the weekend 30/31 May.  Every year Air Atlantique’s owner Mike Collett says that this might be the last opportunity for the public to ride in one of the great aircraft of all time, citing the cost and increasingly awkward legislation.  Flights are priced at UKP65 and half price for Classic Flight Club members.  The full programme is on the Air Atlantique web site. www.airatlantique.co.uk
