Cody aircraft mark IC (Cathedral - so named because of it's size and the size of the hangar it required and the katahedral (lower at the wing tips) arrangement of the wings) outside the shed on Laffan's Plain after it had returned from a record breaking cross country flight of around forty miles lasting an hour and three minutes, passing over Aldershot, Camberley, Fleet, Farnham and Farnborough. The aircraft is partially obscured by cheering civilians and soldiers, many of whom are waving their caps in the air. This was the furthest cross country flight that had ever been made, anywhere in the world and the longest flight in time and distance in the British Empire. Only six other pilots and four types of machine had flown over forty miles anywhere in the world and all of these were aerodrome circuits not cross country flights. Cody had previously made several record breaking flights and made the first passenger carrying flight in Britain (Colonel Capper on the 14th August 1909)

Particularly with his earlier aircraft Cody made constant adjustments to the arrangement of the flying surfaces, often after crashes, in order to obtain better performance and handling. These changes mean that identifying specific sub-marks of Cody aircraft can at times be very difficult, it should also be remembered that because of this constant evolution of his aircraft Cody would probably not have classified them in such a detailed manner.}}
