Photo Comment

Built in 1933 for a British racing car driver as the Speed Model Fox Moth with an enclosed cockpit and raised rear decking. Came to Australia in 1935. Retained the canopy and decking after World War II and presumably right to its demise in a swamp in Papua New Guinea in November 1953. Operated by Goldfields Airways.
