<p>This is the second of the two Cody V Biplanes. The first was built in 1912 from the remains of two earlier aircraft, both of which had crashed. In September 1912 it was declared the winner of the Military Trials held at Salisbury and it subsequently joined No4 Sqn, Royal Flying Corps, in December 1912.
The second aeroplane first flew in January 1913, but in April 1913 the first machine broke up mid-air, after which the second was not flown again. In November that year it joined the Science Museum and remains on display in the ‘Flight’ Hall.
