Sir Philip Sassoon's D.H.90 Dragonfly G-AEDT seen at Lympne in 1936. Built in 1936, 'DT was sold to Australia in July 1938 to become VH-AAD. It returned to the UK in December 1963 but, after restoration at Shoreham, was flown to the USA, becoming N2034. In 1986 it was purchased by de Havilland aircraft collector Brian Woodford and was shipped to Ron Souch's workshops at Salisbury Green, Hampshire. It will shortly emerge, repainted in Sassoon's livery, complete with flying sword on the fin, hopefully in time for this year's de Havilland Moth Club rally at Woburn.

Sir Philip Sassoon's grey and silver Q.6 was the first production example, built during the winter of 1937-38 and delivered to Sir Philip on March 2, 1938. In April 1940 'FD was impressed into RAF service as X9407; after the war it was restored to the register under the ownership of the Yorkshire Aeroplane Club, and was based at Sherburn-in-Elmet. In 1956 the Q.6 was moved to Redhill where it became an instructional airframe with the College of Aeronautical Engineering. It is now being restored to fly again.
