It first flew in April 1910 at Lea Marshes, close to JAP&#8217;s factory at Tottenham, and was then taken to France where Harding was awarded his French Aero Certificate using it, and then back to the UK and was flown at the Blackpool aviation meeting later in the year.

Roe, of course, went on to create Avro, which became one of the world&#8217;s greatest aircraft manufacturing companies.<br>This is the second of the two examples built (it has a tailskid instead of a tailwheel) and joined the <strong>Science Museum London<\/strong> in 1925.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH-728x485.jpg\" alt=\"Pitts Special S-1S G-AZPH | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pitts-Special-S-1S-G-AZPH-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pitts Special S-1S G-AZPH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3-728x546.jpg\" alt=\"Rolls Royce Thrust Measuring Rig XJ314 RAF | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Rolls-Royce-Thrust-Measuring-Rig-XJ314-RAF-3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rolls Royce Thrust Measuring Rig XJ314 RAF<br>Built 1954.

It marked the culmination of Mitchell&#8217;s quest to &#8220;perfect the design of the racing seaplane&#8221; and represented the cutting edge of aerodynamic technology. It is one of the major technical achievements in British aviation between the two world wars. Not only did the aircraft win the 1931 Schneider Trophy, but also, two weeks later, became the fastest vehicle on earth, setting an absolute speed record of 407.5 mph. This was the third consecutive win for the British, and the Schneider Trophy was permanently awarded to Great Britain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2-728x546.jpg\" alt=\"Supermarine Spitfire Ia P9444\/RN-D RAF | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Supermarine-Spitfire-Ia-P9444-RN-D-RAF-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Supermarine Spitfire Ia P9444\/RN-D RAF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6-728x485.jpg\" alt=\"Vickers Vimy IV (BAPC-51) | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Vickers-Vimy-IV-BAPC-51-6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vickers Vimy IV (BAPC-51)<br>This is the aircraft in which John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown made the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic in June 1919.

In 1848 Stringfellow achieved the first ever powered flight using an unmanned 10 ft wingspan steam-powered monoplane, built in a disused lace factory in Chard, Somerset. Employing two contra-rotating propellers on the first attempt, made indoors, the machine flew ten feet before becoming destabilised, damaging the craft. The second attempt was more successful, the machine leaving a guide wire to fly freely, achieving some thirty yards of straight and level powered flight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage-728x485.jpg\" alt=\"William Henson's 1:7 scale model Aerial Steam Carriage | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/William-Hensons-17-scale-model-Aerial-Steam-Carriage-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">William Henson&#8217;s 1:7 scale model Aerial Steam Carriage<br>In 1842 William Samuel Henson (1812-1888) patented a design for a steam-powered monoplane which he called an &#8216;Aerial Steam Carriage&#8217;. The machine was never built but Henson and his partner, John Stringfellow, later constructed this scale model of the machine with which they carried out trials in 1845. Henson and Stringfellow planned to set up an airfreight company, the &#8216;Aerial Steam Transit Company&#8217;, to transport goods around the world. However sustained flight was never achieved and, in 1847, Henson abandoned his plans and emigrated to the United States. Although its flights were limited, this was the first powered aircraft to be built, albeit a model, that in any way approached a rational design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation-728x546.jpg\" alt=\"Early aviation | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Early-aviation-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Early aviation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display-728x485.jpg\" alt=\"WWII aircraft British and German | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WWII-aircraft-British-and-German-display-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WWII aircraft British and German<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio-728x485.jpg\" alt=\"Avro Lancaster radio | Science Museum London\" class=\"wp-image-27865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Avro-Lancaster-radio-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Avro Lancaster radio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/320-H.P.-A.B.C.-Dragonfly-engine-No.-60185.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/320-H.P.-A.B.C.-Dragonfly-engine-No.-60185-728x485.jpg\" alt=\"320 H.P.
