Gipsy Moth G-AAAA, c/n 805, shown with coupe top allowing comparison to be made with the open cockpit view on page 87/11. First owned by Capt Geoffrey de Havilland, it was used to break the lightplane World Height Record in July 1928 by flying to 19,980 feet with Mrs de Havilland as passenger. It is probable that the intense cold at this height was the reason for fitting the enclosed hood.
