Goodly morning all...

This aircraft could outperform many aircraft that came along years later on both sides of the pond... Wink

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Hornet_Moth

I never had the opportunity to fly it, the aircraft was going to replace the DeHavilland Tiger Moth in Royal Air Force Service but never did, but it did serve during World War Two with the RAF.
Both grandparents and my father flew it. Side by side seating was a plus and there is a good shot of the cockpit yoke in the above Link... Grin

Here is a Link to the DeHavilland Aircraft "Moth Family"...some good pictures...

Very cool Doug.

I was not familiar with the Fox Moth until I followed your link. Too bad nobody builds one for FSX. Sad

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Great shots Doug....the second one is stunning Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

At first glance, it looks like a biplane version of the Aeronca Champ? Huh

Great set of pics, and the history, info and links are much appreciated Doug

Happy flying,

Greg Cool
