    Genairco produced ten aircraft based loosely on the Moth, three of which are shown here, VH-UOF, UOD and UNY being c/ns 15, 14 and 12 respectively. Unique features visible here are the larger round-top rudder, sharply pointed nose with the front cylinders completely exposed and wider fuselage seen most clearly on UOD with side-by-side 2-seat front cockpit. The wide fuselage provided a wide centre section and fuel tank, this increasing the fuel contents for greater range. The upper wing cutout is filled in by a portion which folds upwards (the hinges can be seen) to allow the wings to fold. An unusual feature on UOF is a 'park bench' aerofoil above each aileron, presumably intended to lighten the aileron control but not seen on other aircraft. The RH stub exhausts of the Hermes engine with which all were powered initially can be seen on UOF.

    Even older is this Australian-designed Genairco three-seater, VH-UOD (c/n. 14) of early 1930s. Power: Gipsy Major III. A third Genairco still flying has enclosed front seats like Fox Moth.

    Регистрационный номер: VH-UOJ

    Genairco c/n 18 VH-UOJ, a cabin version with 4 passenger seats not unlike the Fox Moth, was converted to a seaplane and is here seen in use by Fiji Airways. The Hermes II engine had the later enclosed cowling, with the RH exhaust piped down the front in a similar way to the DH.60T. The pilot is climbing out of his open cockpit behind the centre section.
