de Havilland D.H.89A Dragon Rapide

Tail #	Nickname	Maker #	Service Start	Service End	Notes
38		Unknown	January 1939	27 January 1940
43	Fuling	Unknown	25 January 1940	23 August 1940	CNAC have been reported as operating two Rapides, with fleet nos. 38 & 43 “Fuling” and a CNAC record shows that “43” was received 1.40 and sold in Singapore, although with the type “Dragon” crossed out and Beech Staggerwing entered in place. A report in the Straits Times for 23.8.40 states that Wearnes Air Services had bought a “practically new” Rapide from CNAC and it would be flown to Singapore by a Chinese pilot “early next month”. This may have been allocated VR-SBG and probably became MVAF “18”.[1]
