A good grab-shot whether it's a Fox Moth or Jackaroo in front .
The wing sweep-back on a Tiger Moth and Jackaroo is approx 6 deg whereas it's approx 2 deg on the Fox Moth, which is why it's hardly noticeble on my model shot above.

JOhn,
IMHO, you'd have to go for the C42.

My book says similarly:- that the Tiger Moth wings were used, and whilst I have a 3 view of the Tiger, there's none for the Fox; however, using those same wings, they managed a different span:
Fox Moth 30ft 10 1/2in vs Tiger's 29ft 4in, and the wing areas 261 sq ft vs 239. The reduced sweep would contribute something, and there was probably a wider centreplane. Might do a calculation or two.
EDIT: My calculations say that the centreplane must be 16 and 17/32in wider to make up the difference.

The new fuselage was wider than the Tiger Moth in order to accomodate 2 pax sitting shoulder to shoulder. This allowed the fuel tank to be larger i.e. a capacity of 25 galls compared with the 19 galls for the Tiggy.

Another beauty!!!

In ANT Flying Club at Blackpool, there's a mural on the wall of the bar with a red painted Fox Moth, I think G-AOJH, and Chipmunk G-ARGG in formation, painted by a club member. Must get a shot of it next time I'm up there.

I'm happy with that, my friend!

Any news?
