de Havilland airliners, biplanes and monoplanes

The Mosquito Launch Spectacular Airshow at Ardmore Aerodrome in Auckland (New Zealand) featured a wide variety of de Havilland aircraft types. Many are shown here during their display at the show -- several DH.82a Tiger Moths and DHC-1 Chipmunks, and a single example each of a DH.60 Gypsy Moth, DH.83 Fox Moth, DH.84 Dragon, and a DH.94 Moth Minor.

The Fox Moth was restored and owned by my brother , Stan Smith. He recently sold it. He still owns the Dragon, he restored that too. He is still restoring old things! Long may that continue!

Stan has done a great job at saving (i.e. restoring) a number of aircraft over the years -- fantastic!

[@Giovanniram22]

Beautiful. All these planes at the same time!

[@peterpocock9062]

We surprised him at his recent milestone birthday, and later he had great pride in showing me his latest projects. which I took particular delight in seeing. He's not finished yet!

[@HistAvFilmUnit]

Was that a DH-94 in the mix? I didn't know there were any left. Not sure we have that many chippies flying here either.
