Fox Moth - De Havilland’s Cabin Classic
The DH.83 Fox Moth was a clever hybrid - built in the early 1930s using wings, tail, and gear from the famous Tiger Moth trainer. A cost-saving move that worked beautifully.
With a small cabin for passengers and the pilot exposed behind, it carved out a role in remote regions as a rugged little hauler - from New Zealand to the Canadian bush.
It sits neatly between its de Havilland siblings: the Tiger Moth before it, and the larger Dragon Rapide after - all sharing that practical, elegant design DNA.
