EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the de Havilland DH.87B Hornet Moth, registration G-ADKK (msn 8033), takes center stage at the Coventry-Air Pageant and National Air Races held in July 1959. The DH.87B Hornet Moth, a two-seat, open-cockpit biplane, was a popular design in the post-World War II aviation scene, known for its sleek lines, agility, and versatility. The aircraft, which was manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom, is seen here in all its glory as it prepares for takeoff. The pilot, dressed in his flying gear, is poised at the controls, ready to engage the engine and lift the Hornet Moth into the clear blue sky. The plane's distinctive red, white, and blue livery, with the registration number prominently displayed on the fuselage, adds to its striking appearance. The Coventry-Air Pageant and National Air Races were major aviation events in the UK during the late 1950s, attracting a large crowd of spectators who came to witness the thrilling displays of both civilian and military aircraft. The DH.87B Hornet Moth was a regular participant in such events, showcasing its impressive flying abilities and delighting audiences with its graceful maneuvers. This photograph captures a moment in time when aviation was still a relatively new and exciting field, and the de Havilland DH.87B Hornet Moth was a symbol of innovation and adventure. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the enduring allure of flight.
