de Havilland D.H 87B Hornet Moth

While in many respects following the general design of the Moth aeroplanes produced for many years by the De Havilland Company, the Hornet Moth marks an advance in comfort, seating two people side by side in an enclosed cabin. Power is provided by the well-tried Gipsy Major engine, and the 35-gallon petrol tank gives the plane a range of 623 miles, cruising at 105 m.p.h. Folding wings are a further attraction of this plane for the private owner.
