De Havilland Canada DHC-8-402 Q400, serial number 4207, operated by Flybe as G-ECOE. The aircraft formed part of Flybe's large turboprop fleet and operated regional services throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A engines, the Q400 combines high cruising speed with excellent fuel efficiency and short-field performance. G-ECOE was well suited to Flybe's network linking smaller regional airports with major cities, often on sectors where jets would have been less economical. The Q400 became one of the defining aircraft of Flybe's operation and was a familiar sight at airports across Britain.
Designed as a short-haul transport based on the Dash 7 design, the Bombardier Dash 8 (formerly de Havilland Canada DHC-8) was first flown on June 20th, 1983. Appearing to be a smaller, twin-engined version of the Dash 7, the Dash 8 design placed less emphasis on STOL (Short take-off and landing) capability and focused more heavily on economical operation. The two Pratt & Whitney PW100 engines mated to a very high aspect ratio wing enabled the Dash 8 to offer the lowest cost per passenger mile of any regional airliner of it's era. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Gemini's 1:200 scale Dash 8 models are constructed mostly of solid diecast metal with only the smallest amount of plastic used. The fuselage and tail fin are seamlessly constructed as a single unit and feature pad-printed windows and doors, fine photo-etch antennas and a glimmering jewel-cut anti-collision lens on top. The solid metal high aspect ratio wing is a clearly seen element on this model as are the long slender engine nacelles with metal propeller blades and exhaust details. The series covers the Dash-8 200 series and the improved Q400 series with a noticeably longer stretched fuselage and efficient five bladed scimitar shaped propeller blades.
