EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH60G Gipsy Moth, registration number G-aa, which holds a significant place in aviation history as the first coupe model of this iconic aircraft. The plane, owned and flown by the renowned aviator Captain Geoffrey de Havilland, underwent experimental modifications in the late 1920s. The transformation included the addition of a light wood and fabric superstructure, equipped with celluloid windows, creating a more enclosed and elegant design. Captain de Havilland, a pioneering figure in aviation, was not only the designer and manufacturer of this aircraft but also an accomplished pilot. The Gipsy Moth, initially designed as a single-seat open-cockpit biplane, gained popularity for its versatility and affordability, making it a favorite among private aviators. The introduction of the coupe model further enhanced its appeal by offering improved comfort and weather protection. The DH60G Gipsy Moth, with its distinctive rounded fuselage and wings, was a significant development in the evolution of light transport aircraft. Its design influenced future aircraft manufacturers and contributed to the growing popularity of private aviation. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of a pioneering aircraft and the visionary spirit of its creator, Captain Geoffrey de Havilland.
