EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the moment of triumph for the de Havilland DH83 Fox Moth, registration number G-ABUT, as it crosses the finish line to win the prestigious 1933 Kings Cup Air Race. The Kings Cup, established in 1930, was one of the most prestigious and challenging air races in the world at the time, attracting the best pilots and their advanced aircraft from around the globe. The de Havilland DH83 Fox Moth, a two-seat, single-engine, open cockpit biplane, was a design by the renowned British aircraft manufacturer, de Havilland Aircraft Company. Powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, the Fox Moth was known for its agility, speed, and reliability, making it a popular choice among private pilots and racing teams. In the hands of skilled pilot, Captain A.F.B. "Bunny" Sansom, G-ABUT proved to be an unbeatable contender in the 1933 Kings Cup Race. Sansom, a British Royal Air Force veteran, had extensive experience in both military and civilian aviation, and his expertise shone through as he navigated the challenging course, which included long-distance legs, precision flying, and a series of timed races. The photograph captures the excitement and tension of the moment as G-ABUT crosses the finish line, with a large crowd gathered to witness the historic victory. The image is a testament to the skill, determination, and innovation of the pilots and aircraft of the era, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation.
