DH 84 Flight DUB to Cork my recording-this Flight of the Aer Lingus Dragon IOLAR (Eagle) was a Check Flight for Capt O,Shea by Capt JJ Sullivan.
Capt JJ flew the DH 84 from Dublin International Airport to the grass strip Airfield in Trim near Dublin.
This plane is in Friedrichshafen Museum on display 2013
There Capt O,Shea performed a number of Touch and Go procedures and finally, after collecting me and my camera, navigated the Twin passenger plane back to Dublin International Airport.
It was an experience for me I will not forget.
By the way, the IOLAR flew over Dublin city yesterday, 12 years after this video was taken!
I have always felt this is one of the most beautiful aircraft to ever grace the skies.
Hi Jim,
I was so lucky to know the leader of the team Capt. JJ Sullivan becaus I was invited to join the Dublin Model Flying Club as soon as I arrived in Ireland 50 years ago. Two flights at different dates and a copy given to me of the refurbishment of the plane make up the 3 postings I published.
Thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred TH-cam channel with 140 RC videos!

What a great flight and a smashing dedicated team keeping this lovely old girl flying,de Havilland knew how to build aircraft that made money for the early air routes.
A beautiful ship flying in a gorgeous backdrop. Great video. Thank you.
My God! What a beautiful aircraft in appearance & sound. As a pilot, I'd have to say the cockpit looks cozy, the view is exemplary, and the instrument panel is shaped perfectly. The aircraft is incredible & nostalgic. As an A&P Mechanic, maintenance has to be a dream come true. For owners who want aircraft longevity & low maintenance costs - fabric covering makes sructural inspections a piece of cake. I wish they'd still make them today. To own one has to be a proud moment. If, I ever purchased one of these aircraft - I'd probably sit in the cockpit all day & all night after the aircraft was in the hangar. What can I say - "Durable, Reliable, & Simple"
Hello Steven,
thank you for the visit to my "ScaleJetFred" channel with 150 videos (mostly RC flying)
Great comments !
Greetings from Ireland, Fred
NOTHING BUT AWSOMENESS...BEAUTIFUL BIRD...👍👍👍
Great video Fred. I was fortunate to get a short hop in ABI ten years after this video was made!It's a testament to the great work that John Molloy and the rest of the crew that she has is still flown visiting airfields around Ireland as well as having visited the continent.
The good old honest Dragon! We had lots of them here in Australia, and made them as well. I love how thw fuel gauges, oil prssure and tachos are mounted on the engines.

One of these amazing beauties is on display at the Air Transport Museum in Rio de Janeiro.
This one was in a shed until discovered.With the help of Ser Lingus, the Irish Airline, the plane was refurbished and airworthy.
On my channel I have 3 more videos, one is a copy from the project team about the re-built !

thank you very much!
I do have two more videos about this beauty on my channel, especial the project of re building this nice plane.
See for yourself and enjoy
Hermoso vídeo de una máquina preciosa. Muy bueno.
Beautiful looking machine. I think that as a teenager, my mum might have flown on one of these around Blackpool Tower in Lancashire in the 1950s - well, pre 1956. She said that for a minute the biplane was level with the very top of the tower (though at a distance!) Hope I haven't misremembered her story.
Great Paul! On my channel I have 3 more videos about this plane:

Very neat little office too 😎
Indeed and thanks, Fred
Loved it.
Good stuff!
A beautiful aircraft indeed and excellent video - I felt like I had been up there for the ride! Well done and Thank You! I used to watch the paratroopers jumping from one of these at Oxford Airport (Kidlington) run by BEAS back in 1960s and Fred Mercer (Pilot) 'Fearless Fred' (!) used to try to beat the Paratroopers back down to the ground. I think that there were only two of these Dragon DH84s (as opposed to the later Rapide model) in the country even then. Is
EL-ABI still flying?? Mark Freeman.
Hi again!
EI-ABI is still flying at airshows in Europe. I is lucked after by Aer Lingus personell and normally stationed in Dublin.
Thanks for watching! I do have 2 more videos about this plane on ScaleJetFred.
Greetings From Dublin, Fred
Thanks for your reply Fred - I was delighted to hear that beautiful aircraft is still flying - I read about much of it's incredible restoration history some time ago and somewhere else on the internet - truly a fantastic example of dedication that EI-ABI is still flying and certainly worth every bit of any effort involved (easy for me to say of course!) I remain very inspired and much tempted to make a trip across to Dublin sometime to see possibly even to see this aeroplane flying but your videos have kept me satisfied for now! Thanks again, Mark Freeman.
Very first plane I flew in , in what became Heath Row in about 1950. I remember they were flying Aero Yorks out of there at the time . Which were descended from the Aero Lancaster , but with the gun turrets removed and covered over with what looked like aluminium .
Welcome, I flew twice during the last 20 years because the project manager Capt. J.J. Sullivan is a good friend and fellow member of the Dublin Model Flying Club.
There are two more postings on my ScaleJet channel:
A flight Dublin Cork and a summary of the restoration, kindly handed to me by the project team to be published on TH-cam.
Thank you for watching!
Welshpete12:
Those a/c you mention, the "Lancaster" and the "York", where made by A. V. ROE = AVRO, a great British firm, NOT Aero, who it's a Polish constructor.!!!
Cheers mate.!!
Beautiful old bird even if the approach sounds like my washing machine on spin cycle!
Hi there! thanks for visiting my channel and the nice comment!
3 more videos: refurbishe the leftovers to flying conditions, pre flight checks and one more flight I was invited to for the video recording!

he then Team Leader Capt JJ Sullivan is a member of our local Model flying club, The DMFC - Dublin Model Flying Club!
By the way, this plane is sill flying at air shows this year!

Cool to see the venturi AI becoming effective as the airspeed increased.
Hello Cinnemaster A- Indeed, it is even more impressive if you manage to get a lift in this one.
A few years earlier I flew as only passenger from Dublin to Cork and was recording this low level flight over Ireland.
This record is also on my ScaleJetFred TH-cam channel
Gracias
It is my pleasure and i am pleased you liked this video
Thanks for watching
British acft really just didn't think about ergonomics. The rpm and oil pressure gauges in the engine nacelles, that must be a bloody nuisance especially at nights. Granted there isn't much room in the cockpit. It must be an acft you fly more by feel and sound than watching the gauges. It does look like a blast to fly
Sure, but typical of the period.
hi!
your comment is very much appreciated!

In wartime service in the RAAF in Australia, the DH84 aircraft were fondly referred to as "butterboxes".

Are those DeHavilland engines four cylinder types?
Landing amidst DH Jets, Citations, and Boeings is a fine tribute to the designers of the 1930s.

Lovely video. I would like to know how JJ gets into the pilots seat as there seems to be a semi screen in the way? 06/06/18
He had plenty of space Mike!
I send you question to him, may be he has time to answer.
Thanks for watching.
p.s. There are 2 more postinfs of this plane, one from the Aer Lingus crew who did the project. I transferred with JJ's permission - he was the team leader- tothe VHS recording to DV .
Ford trimotor creo que tenìa los instrumentos de motor en la riostra de las alas que sostenian los mismos.

It's all good fun until you realise that this is quite a modern plane in Ireland...
I am surprised they had to hand prop that airplane!
Hello Jim! This is the original rebuilt plane witrh the original engines; these had to and still needet to hand prop to get going.
You find one more video on my channel, handed to me by the restauration team, where you see how even the original motors are refurbished...
Thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred TH-cam channel with 140 RC videos!

Thoroughly enjoyed, but distracted by the loose wingnut right of your shoulder. How important was it to the integrity of the aircraft?? (Very much tongue in cheek!!)
No, I don't think so!
However, by chance the pilot will be in my house to Morrow and I show him this clip!
Thanks for pointing it out.
Fred
because of unexpected heavy snow the meeting was cancelled and we still wat for the answer. But it is definitely not affecting the safety of the plane.
I was only joking . Any chance of a flight???
Acrobatic Cripple - contact Are Lingus Airline in Dublin Airport, Ireland. They maintain and fly this plane. Fred

As a maintenance tech , wooden fuselages cant stand the abuse of NEGLECT and being tied down outside...!!! Wooden wings seem to endure better than wooden fuselages. BTW, I am building an all wood replica Spad 13 and am fully aware that this beautiful structure is like a fine piece of furniture and must never be left outside in Arizona heat or North Carolina rain showers . It’s an inside airplane only to be flown on nice sunny days...!!! PS ... I love wood aviation structures... Mosquitos...!!!
BTW... my Spad fuselage structure is a Dehavilland truss, easy build, no rigging...!!! Hope to fly it in 2018... 80 % scale, powered by a mini Hisso, the Rover 4.2 V8...sweet sound...!!!

Should be Avro York , sorry.
Ah!!!
The good times, when you "feel" the planes with the bottom of your pants!!!
Pure pleasure of flying, without electronics or bloody computers...
I have flew Dragon Rapides in Africa.!!
What a pleasant a/c to fly...
I loved that cockpit and the pilot's position and
great visibility.!!!
Miss those ol'good times.!!!
PS:
Those a/c that where in good shape and flying regularly, with the aeroclubs, parachutist clubs, and touring flights, were dumped and trashed by the new "governments" of "Liberated Africa", by the bloody locals...
What a waste and a pity...
They, African "leaders" and "politicians", only care about power and greed.
They have no historical culture.
Hello A Rodriges, I am glad to have "made Your day"!
and thanks for the information you sent to me. I will pass it on to the project leader and pilot on this video, Kapt. Sullivan.
I do have 3 more videos of this plane, on is the restoration not recorded by myself but given to me by Aer Lingus, who paid for this and still flies it at At Show's.

Colonialism is dead, thank Christ.
I am aware that this a/c was entirely fabricated of wood , but often ,I thought if the fuselage could have been light, welded steel tubing more a/c could have survived. Example; the American mfg Moth biplane done in steel tubing outlasted the wooden Moth. Then ,of course DeHaviland built a slew of steel TigerMoths which still survive today...!!!
