= Description = To differentiate it from those built in the UK, the British Columbian-built aircraft were designated DH.89C Dragon Rapide. In most respects the they were the same as the British version, but were powered by Hoffar Aero Engines' HIL-6A Hawkmoth-6 engine producing 210 hp. Those delivered to the Royal BC Air Force were identical to the civilian version, but were designated DH.89D Dominie.
