EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant de Havilland DH.87 Hornet Moth, registration number G-AHBM, as it gracefully soars through the sky. The DH.87 Hornet Moth, designed by Geoffrey de Havilland, was a two-seat, single-engine, open-cockpit biplane that first flew in 1934. Its distinctive streamlined shape and aerodynamic features made it a popular choice among private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. The image captures the Hornet Moth at the height of its flight, with the wind ruffling its wings and the sun casting long shadows on the ground below. The pilot, dressed in a leather flying helmet and goggles, looks intently ahead, focused on the horizon as he navigates the skies. The open cockpit allows for an unobstructed view of the landscape, adding to the sense of freedom and adventure. The Hornet Moth was known for its exceptional handling and stability, making it a favorite among pilots for both recreational flying and competition. Its powerful de Havilland Gipsy III engine provided ample power, enabling the aircraft to reach speeds of up to 130 mph. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and grace of the de Havilland DH.87 Hornet Moth, a true icon of aviation history. With its timeless design and enduring appeal, it continues to inspire awe and admiration among aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike.
