A low-wing, fixed undercarriage wooden light aircraft, the DW.1 was built in small numbers. It won the 1939 Lympne-Folkestone air race. For many, this type epitomizes the
golden era of pre-World War II British light aircraft design. As a consequence examples survive today and others are being newly built from plans by enthusiasts.
