Probably Cody aircraft mark II in flight during the Michelin Trophy trials. A wide view of Laffan's Plain with the aircraft being in the distance. Note the flag markers in the middle of the picture. Cody built this aircraft in 1910; the previous aircraft had been in several crashes and was suffering generally from constant usage. The design of this aircraft followed similar lines to the previous one though the wingspan was shorter by around six feet and the wing area around a third smaller.

On the 31st December 1910 all three men attempted to win the competition despite the winter weather. At the start of the day Ogilvie held the winning distance but by nightfall the other two men had managed to better this with Cody managing to eclipse the future renowned aircraft designer by setting a winning distance of 185 miles 787 yards with the flight lasting four hours 47 minutes. Cody went on to win three more Michelin cups in 1911 and 1912.}}
