Регистрационный номер: J-BIEG J-BIEG was imported as a pattern aircraft for a Fox Moth copy to be produced by Gasuden, but it is not thought that any approval for doing so was obtained or that de Havilland bothered to do anything about it.

Регистрационный номер: J-BBJI [2] IMITATION THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY: This machine, known as the "Chidorigo," was constructed by the Tokio Gas & Electric Industry Co., and is remarkably like a D.H. "Fox Moth" - although the company is in no way associated with the de Havilland Co. It is fitted with a 7-cyl. 150 h.p. Gasden "Zimpu" (which, again, closely resembles the Armstrong-Siddeley "Mongoose"). It is being used by the Japan Aerial Transport Co. for taxi and joy-riding purposes. A brief specification of this machine is as follows :- Span, 9 ft. 2 in.; wing area, 236.7 sq. ft.; weight empty, 1,212.75 lb.; laden weight, 2,116.8 lb.; speed range, 46-122 m.p.h.; range, 404 miles.
Gasuden was the first Japanese company to produce aero engines, initially under licence, then their own designs. Their first aircraft design was the KR-1 Chidori, a near copy of the DH Fox Moth with their own 150 hp Jimpu radial engine. Illustrated is c/n 1 J-BBJI. -
