Страна : Великобритания
Год : 1934
Средний транспортный самолет с экипажем из двух человек
de Havilland DH.86
Разработанный и построенный в соответствии с требованиями правительства Австралии к многомоторному самолету для компании QANTAS (для полетов между Сингапуром и Австралией), DH.86 получил сертификат летной годности 30 января 1934 года - всего через четыре месяца после начала проектирования. Самолет представлял собой двухстоечный биплан деревянной конструкции с полотняной обшивкой и шасси с хвостовым костылем. Основные стойки, установленные под внутренними мотогондолами, были закрыты большими обтекателями.
Первый полет DH.86 совершил 14 января 1934 года. Прототип и вторая аналогичная ему машина были приспособлены под управление одним пилотом. Вторая машина с 21 августа 1934 года использовалась "Railway Air Services" для работы на линии Кройдон - Глазго, с промежуточными посадками в Бирмингеме, Манчестере и Белфасте. Второй член экипажа (штурман-радист) сидел позади пилота.
Компании QANTAS и "Imperial Airways" потребовали, чтобы оба члена экипажа сидели бок о бок, и в августе 1934 года фирма доработала прототип, удлинив и расширив носовую часть.
Первый из 29 серийных самолетов получила австралийская компания "Holyman Airways" (четыре машины). Также самолеты получили компании QANTAS (6), "Imperial Airways" (5), "Jersey Airways" (6), египетская "Misr Airwork" (4), "Hillmans Airways" (3) и "Wrightways" (1).
Варианты
DH.86A: этот вариант, созданный в 1935 году, отличался модифицированным ветровым козырьком, пневматическими амортизаторами шасси и хвостовой стойкой с колесом. Построили 20 самолетов, большая часть из которых была переделана в вариант DH.86B в 1937 году. RAF получили четыре самолета: два - школа радистов в Кранвелле и два - 24-я эскадрилья в Хендоне, другие машины были мобилизованы во время Второй мировой войны
DH.86B: конверсия DH.86A с концевыми шайбами на стабилизаторе, установленными после расследования катастрофы в Мартлешем Хит, происшедшей с одной из машин; вновь построенные DH.86B отличались горизонтальным оперением с законцовками увеличенной хорды и большими передаточными отношениями в проводке элеронов

Регистрационный номер : G-ACZP [3] A rare colour portrait of the last surviving D.H.86B, G-ACZP (c/n 2321), resplendent in its distinctive Hampshire Aeroplane club colour scheme at the Kidlington sales weekend in April 1958. The aircraft had been impressed into Royal Navy service as AX843, but it was not taken up and was operated by Railway Air Services.

Flight 1934-01 / Flight
SPEEDING-UP BRITISH AIR TRANSPORT: The de Havilland D.H.86 can be regarded as a high-speed development of the "Dragon," from which it differs in having four engines and very tapered wings. The machine has not been through the Martlesham tests yet, and no official performance figures are, therefore, available, but one only has to see it fly to realise that it is very fast indeed.

The prototype D.H.86 “Express Air Liner” with its B Conditions registration E.2 around the time of its first flight in January 1934, a mere four months after the decision was taken to proceed with the design. Note the original single-pilot “Roman” nose. Later examples were fitted with dual controls and a revised longer nose profile.

Flight 1934-02 / Flight
The foreshortening effect of this side view makes the "Express Air Liner" look somewhat ugly, but in point of fact this is far from the case, largely due to the heavily tapered wings.

G-ACPL was the prototype de Havilland D.H.86, and it was first flown from Stag Lane by Hubert Broad on January 14, 1934, its C of A being granted on January 30. Later that year the aircraft was delivered to Railway Air Services Ltd at Croydon. It was later re-built as a 2 crew aircraft and joined the imperial Airways fleet, where it was named Delphinus. In December 1941 it was impressed into RAF service at Cairo and carried service number HK844. -

Reckoned in 1945 to be the only village in England to have its own airfield was the model village known as Bekonscot, in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. The "airfield" covered 1,100yd2 and up to November 1945 had raised £8,500 for charity. The model airfield was called Hanton and amongst the models may be seen an H.P.42 in RAF colours and a D.H.86. One wonders what became of Hanton.
