Fairy Fox VII Kangarou: Single-seat fighter version of Fox VI. called “Kangarou”
due to the position of its radiator, which had been moved back to set the
Center of Gravity. Obsolete well before development finished, it was not put
into production and Belgium looked to buy more modern aircraft (Hurricanes
and Hawk 75As; none arrived for May, 1940). 2 built; 1 used by Major Willi
Coppens, the other returned to Fox VIR configuration.
