A European Safety directive I believe, which required the fitting of
safety slides (even though the passenger door is only 4ft above the

and never flies high enough to require oxygen)!

Yet the Air Atlantique Dragon Rapide continues ...

I always had a soft spot for these. I never flew in one but they were
old even when I was a small boy. I saw them at both Heathrow and St.
Just on the hols in Corwall.


I flew in the Air Atlantique one in 1996. Front seat (slightly further back
than the pilot, 1000 ft above the Warwickshire countryside with the window
open. Marvellous!
