RCAF D.H.60 Gypsy Moth training biplanes, Camp Borden Ontario c. 1930

Photo of long row of de Havilland DH60 Gypsy Moth two-seater biplanes lined up on a grass runway at Camp Borden, near Barrie Ontario.

Beautiful image!

Typewritten label on back, with penciled notes:

                        Canada  20 a/c
LINE UP OF DH GYPSY MOTH TRAINING MACHINES FROM THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE AT CAMP BORDEN.
                   Was photo taken there?


Comes from the estate of a French collector who died in 1940s.

Paper is curved.

16.50 x 24.50 cm //   6 ½” x 9 ⅝”

(Red text is an electronic watermark that is not physically part of the photo for sale)

 

The fourth plane down the row has #158 on its fuselage. Based on that, tracked down the records for the plane, identifying it as a D.H.60GM:

#158  (de Havilland: DH.60GM / de Havilland Canada: DHC102 / ‘Moth’)
