Two prototypes of the Fox VII "Monofox" were constructed as single seat fighters equipped with 6 machine-guns.

The ventral radiator was moved backwards which gave the plane the surname of Fox "Kangourou".

One of both aircraft (O-136) was specially modified for Willy Coppens d'Houthulst, the first world war ace which was missing a leg.

One can see Coppens at the right in company of (l to r) Mrs. Tollet, Tips and Jacquet at Gosselies in 1937.
