The DH.83 Fox Moth is a small biplane passenger aircraft from the 1930s powered by a single de Havilland Gipsy Major I inline inverted engine, manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The aircraft was designed late in 1931 as a low-cost, light passenger aircraft.
The de Havilland Moths were a series of light aircraft, sports planes, and military trainers designed by Geoffrey de Havilland.In the late 1920s and 1930s, they were the most common civilian aircraft flying in Britain, and during that time every light aircraft flying in the UK was commonly referred to as a Moth, regardless if it was de Havilland-built or not.
Powered by two de Havilland Gnome turboprops with a high-wing layout and a maximum capacity of 40 passengers or a payload of 7800 lb. Designed for economic operations over very short routes (e.g. 200 mi), but with a full fuel load and payload reduced to 2400 lb, the range could be extended to 1610 mi. Abandoned due to competition with the HS ...

In 1932, de Havilland also developed an affordable air taxi from the Tiger Moth, using many of the main components of the former with a new plywood fuselage seating four people in an enclosed cabin; it was marketed as the de Havilland Fox Moth. [11]
All the Canadian modifications made to the Tiger Moth were also applied to the Fox Moth. de Havilland designed a special stretcher for the Fox Moth, so it could operate as an air ambulance. Of the 53 produced, 39 remained in Canada, most of which were operated in float/ski configuration and gave years of satisfactory service.
Aircraft on site and stored in the adjacent museum [1] include several Tiger Moths and other aircraft in the de Havilland family, such as the Fox Moth and a very rare [2] de Havilland Dragonfly. These aircraft are regularly flown. A replica of the Pither Monoplane was constructed and flown by CAC. [3]
