Hi guys, Reading up on the de Havilland Fox Moth, I note that a 'sub variant' was produced in Japan(as far as I know a Fox was delivered and subsequently modified to have a Jinpu(?) radial). I wonder if anyone has seen photos of this aircraft? It would be interesting to see a radial engined Fox.. Cheers, Ryan

The wings are different, aren't they? Not nearly as pretty as the original.
Kerry mentioned the Japs also had at least one proper Fox Moth in original configuration that they used as an air ambulance, but the one above was a troop tansport.

From what I have gathered they had another Fox with original wings etc etc, but they also made a copy of it, although not an exact copy with a few modifications
