A view taken from the 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) in flight. The bamboo spar and part of the elevator can be seen along with a crowd of people in the distance. It was in this aircraft that Cody made the first passenger carrying flight in Britain (Colonel Capper on the 14th August 1909) and several record breaking flights including one cross-country of around forty miles and lasting an hour and three minutes, passing over Aldershot, Camberley, Fleet, Farnham and Farnborough on the 8th September 1909. 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.}}
