EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Timeless Aviation Icon: The de Havilland DH85 Leopard Moth, G-AIYS, at Croydon Airport, April 1947" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the grace and elegance of the de Havilland DH85 Leopard Moth, registration number G-AIYS, as it sits proudly on the tarmac at Croydon Airport in April 1947. The DH85 Leopard Moth, a two-seat touring biplane, was a popular design produced by the de Havilland Aircraft Company between 1934 and 1956. Its distinctive rounded wings and open cockpit design made it a favorite among private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. 3. Background: The post-World War II era saw a surge in interest in recreational aviation, and the DH85 Leopard Moth was well-suited to the needs of this new market. With its reliable de Havilland Gipsy Major engine and robust construction, the Leopard Moth was a reliable and capable aircraft that could be flown for pleasure or for short-distance transportation. This photograph captures the aircraft in its element, with the runway and hangars of Croydon Airport providing a fitting backdrop to its classic design. 4. Technical Details: The de Havilland DH85 Leopard Moth was a single-engine, two-seat biplane with a top speed of 120 mph and a range of around 500 miles. Its wingspan was 32 feet 10 inches, and it had a length of 24 feet 10 inches. The aircraft weighed just under 1,700 pounds empty and could carry a maximum takeoff weight of 2,550 pounds. 5. Legacy: The de Havilland DH85 Leopard Moth remains a beloved icon of aviation history, and many examples of the type still fly today. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic design and the passion it continues to inspire in aviation enthusiasts around the world.
