EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth, registration number G-ACLL (msn 7028), in the 1950s. The DH.85 Leopard Moth is a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane, designed and manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company in the late 1930s. G-ACLL was originally impressed into the Royal Air Force (RAF) on July 9, 1940, with the service number AW165. During this period, the RAF utilized the DH.85 Leopard Moths as advanced trainer aircraft, providing future pilots with valuable experience in handling and flying open-cockpit biplanes. After its military service, G-ACLL returned to civilian hands and continued to be a beloved aircraft in the aviation community. The 1950s marked a time of renewed interest in recreational aviation, and the DH.85 Leopard Moth became a popular choice for private pilots and flying clubs due to its affordability, ease of maintenance, and thrilling flying experience. In this photograph, the DH.85 Leopard Moth appears poised for takeoff, with its engine roaring and propeller spinning. The pilot and passenger, dressed in leather jackets and helmets, exude a sense of excitement and anticipation as they prepare for their next adventure. The vibrant colors of the aircraft's wings and fuselage contrast beautifully against the clear blue sky, making for a stunning visual representation of the golden age of aviation.
