It introduced the inverted de Havilland Gipsy II engine, improving the pilot's view over the nose, and had a slab-sided plywood-covered fuselage accommodating the pilot (forward) and two passengers side-by-side at the rear of the cabin.

 The de Havilland Moth Club Home Page
The de Havilland Moth Club evolved from a belief that an association of owners and operators of Moth aeroplanes should be formed to create a suitable environment for safeguarding the type; for the interchange of spare parts and encouragement of the widest possible spread of technical information and assistance.
The de Havilland Moth Club welcomes anyone with an interest in the classic aeroplanes designed and built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company at Stag Lane and Hatfield between the wars.
An owners' type club was not founded until 50 years after that maiden flight, as the result of the acquisition of a run-down Tiger Moth.
