The long-range Moth with Capt Geoffrey de Havilland in trilby and heavy-duty flying suit. The upper wing fuel tank filled the centre section completely, small wheels were fitted and the fuselage forward of the cockpit was modified and irregularly painted. Part of the registration G-EBWV can be seen.

The same aircraft as shown in the centre of p.85/84, photo no. is DH.110A so the date must be 1.10.37. It clearly shows the raised tailplane and bulbous fairing ahead of it. The cockpit sides are high as previously noted and the strange baffle on top of the cowl is clearly visible.

The coupe version with the same style of raised tailplane. This is the aircraft shown on p.85/119 and is photo DH.115B of 13.10.37. Were the two types being test flown simultaneously or was the open cockpit version converted to coupe and repainted within twelve days?

Yet another variant! This time we have a faired canopy over the rear cockpit only, a style which was to be developed later into the tricycle undercarriage version of 4.40. This version looks very similar to the E-6 shown on p.85/119 and is photo no. DH.253A indicating a later model than the others, possibly late 1938 or early 1939. None of these examples appear to have production Gipsy Minor engines. Has anyone any comments to add?

C/n 4934, which is clearly marked on the cowling, wearing the US serial 310886 on the tail and standard star and bar insignia together with RAF serial FZ-438 (sic) on the rear fuselage.

Another view of G-AAAA, the cabin conversion, now thought not to be the high altitude record machine.

American-built Gipsy Moth NC811E, a DH.60G c/n 1-D, with its owner Mr. A. Felix Dupont Jr of Wilmington, Delaware, photographed on 25th May 1929. As was often the case the registration prefix letters were omitted from the aircraft markings. Again the left hand tractor propeller indicates that a British manufactured Gipsy engine was fitted.

British-built Gipsy Moth NC9731 c/n 341 was one of the earliest to be supplied to the Moth Aircraft Corporation of the USA.

DH.60GM N939M c/n 138 in the UK when owned, according to a note on the back of the print, by C. Flaglor (presumably during 1985?). Compare with photo of the same machine from the opposite side on page 87/70. Exhaust is on left side, stubs only. The left hand tractor propeller indicates a British-built engine.
