To enable storing the plane in small spaces, the DH.60's wings could fold backwards against the fuselage.
The Moth was one of the first practical light aircraft designs to be intended for civilian training and recreational use, rather than for military buyers.
As the DH.60 became more and more popular, de Havilland decided to cash in on the fame of the original by giving each of his new designs a name ending with Moth.
The most famous of the Moths, however, for sheer numbers built (nearly 9,000), is the DH.82 Tiger Moth - a biplane trainer used during the Second World War in Britain and the Commonwealth of Nations, and the aircraft in which all Second World War RAF pilots learned to fly.
Planes reached Strathallan on Saturday 30 June 1979 and there was an aerobatic display open to the public on the following day.
