Goodly morning all... :)

This aircraft could outperform many aircraft that came along years later on both sides of the pond... ;)

I never had the opportunity to fly it, the aircraft was going to replace the DeHavilland Tiger Moth in Royal Air Force Service but never did, but it did serve during World War Two with the RAF.
Both grandparents and my father flew it.

Very cool Doug. :)

I was not familiar with the Fox Moth until I followed your link. Too bad nobody builds one for FSX.

[color=#0000ff]At first glance, it looks like a biplane version of the Aeronca Champ?

Pepe lepew is right, it really does look like a hybrid version of the aeronca champ... Which one came first, egg or chicken?  ;D
