Basking in glorious sunshine, the Swiss-owned and registered DH Moth Major HB-UPE (c/n 5078) returned to the UK skies 65 years after it left for Switzerland. Immaculately maintained, it proved an eye-catching rarity. Behind is a line of three D.H.87B Hornet Moths.
Celebrating its 60th anniversary, de Havilland DH 60G III Moth Major HB-UPE, poses with its modern trainer counterpart, BAe Hawk Mk 66 U-1257, over the shore of Lake Leman, Switzerland, on August 19, 1994. The Moth Major left the de Havilland factory at Stag Lane in June 1934 and is now owned by the Groupement des Avions Historiques. It is based at the Lauanne Regional Airport of La Blecherette.
A NEW TYPE OF "MOTH": A recent addition to the de Havilland "family" is the wooden "Moth" shown here. It is fitted with the inverted "Gipsy III" engine, so that purchasers who prefer this engine can now be suited.

The Nationalists used militarised D.H.60 Moths of the flying school of the Royal Aero Club of Andalucia as trainers. In addition, a fair number of Moths were captured from the Republican Air Force, including the D.H.60GIII Moth Major seen here, which was serving in Nationalist markings at the school of Alcantarilla in 1939/40. Its 120 h.p. Gipsy III engine was obviously proving troublesome.
