de Havilland DH87B Hornet Moth

The Museum’s exhibit was built at Hatfield in 1935 as the last of the DH87A type, and first flown by Geoffrey de Havilland himself. It was later converted to DH87B type with the rectangular wings. It saw wartime service as a communications aircraft. It was acquired in 1974 and restored by 1988. It has a simple vane-type Air Speed Indicator under the port upper-wing leading edge. But there is also a pitot-static head under the lower starboard wing.

Four 525 hp de Havilland Gipsy Twelve Series I engines were specifically designed by the English aircraft designed, Major Frank Halford to power the wooden constructed DH91 Albatross airliner, which made its maiden flight on 20th May 1937.
