Built in Canada in 1947, this Fox Moth was owned by a number of operators before Maxwell Ward (founder of Wardair Inc., a private Canadian airline company) purchased it in the 1980s. Ward restored this Fox Moth and presented it to the Museum in 1989.

DH.83C Fox Moth
The Fox Moth was designed in England in 1932 and was built using as many Tiger Moth components as possible. Fox Moths were produced in Canada after World War 2. Of the 53 produced, 39 remained in Canada, most of which were operated in float/ski configuration, and gave years of satisfactory service.
