Sure there are others of both types flying in the Southern Hemisphere…

Here in New Zealand there are two Fox Moths flyable, and a Dragon too.

One of the Fox’s, ZK-AEK, is Sir Tim Wallis’s example

The other is ZK-ADI which is I think in Napier (suitable home in the Art Deco City)

There are several here under restoration to flight too, with the Croydon Airrcraft Company and with Stan Smith who owns the flyable Dragon ZK-AXI.

I think all that info is current. What I want to know is, are there any of the very beautiful DH-86 Express four-engined airliners left in the world? Now that I’d love to see flying.

You’re most probably right Daz, just thought I’d mention it in case anyone wanted to have a look though. After all, many contributors to that thread dhfan posted said that a lot of salt-water recovered aircraft were better condition than you’d imagine. Was the Singapore metal or fabric/wood construction? I think the hull was metal, wasn’t it?

I dear say that if they hadn’t rotten or been smashed, they’d now be a coarl reef colony.

Cheers for the better scan Mark. Hmmm, it’s under mud. Let’s hope it isn’t a false scan then like the mythical buried Lancasters on the Buried Lancasters thread.

It is an ex-RAAF example. See here for a bit about it
