Folding wings

edit

There is a photograph in the October 2011 issue of Aeroplane showing Dragon G-ADOS at Helsinki in 1939. The outer sections of the wings are folded back outboard of the engines. Was this modification a one off, or applied to a number of aircraft? Mjroots (talk) 08:02, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

All the aircraft had folding wings. MilborneOne (talk) 08:14, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Riama Crash

edit

The details provided of this incident are probably more than is necessary for a summary of significant incidents involving the type. Perhaps this incident should have its own entry in wikipedia? It was a very significant accident here in Australia. Dfadden (talk) 05:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
