About de Havilland DH.50
de Havilland DH.50 Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : Realizing in 1922
that war surplus D.H.9Cs could not be expected to serve much longer, de
Havilland used the experience gained in their operation to design a
replacement, the de Havilland D.H.50, which carried four passengers in
an enclosed cabin between the wings, with the pilot to the rear in an
open cockpit. The D.H.9C's Siddeley Puma engine was retained and the
result was a reliable and economical light transport. First flown in
August 1923, the D.H.50 made an excellent start to its career when,
four days later, it was flown by Alan Cobham to compete and win first
prize in reliability trials which were being flown daily between
Copenhagen and Gothenburg from 7th-12th August. Cobham made several
long distance flights with the prototype before using the second
aircraft, powered by a 385 hp (287 kW) Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar radial
engine and redesignated D.H.50J, for a 16,000 mile (25,749 km) flight
from Croydon to Cape Town, carried out between 16th November 1925 and
17th February 1926. This was followed later in 1926 by a survey flight
to Australia and back, for which twin floats were fitted. A number
of orders were placed for D.H.50s, and 16 production aircraft were
built by de Havilland. Australian licence production was carried out by
QANTAS, who built four D.H.50A and three D.H.50J aircraft; by West
Australian Airways, who built three D.H.50As; and by the Larkin
Aircraft Supply Company, who built a single D.H.50A. European licences
were granted to SABCA for construction of three D.H.50As at Brussels
and to Aero at Prague for seven. The SABCA aircraft were used in the
Belgian Congo. Of the total de Havilland production (17 aircraft),
only four were based in the UK, two of them with Imperial Airways. One
went to the Czech government, 10 to Australia and one to New ...
