Airco de Havilland D.H.60G Gipsy Moth

The D.H.60G Gipsy Moth was designed in Great Britain as an afforable and safe 2-seater airplane, suitable for general use and training. The first flight of the prototype was in 1925 and the production line airplanes had folding wings for storage reasons.

Only one D.H.60G Gipsy Moth was enrolled in the Air Force (2nd Training Group) in October 1931. It was probably used for training purposes.
