A good medium close up of the passenger accommodation and undercarriage on Cody aircraft mark IIE (Omnibus - so named because of it's passenger carrying capabilities) - four tractor seats. Cody first 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.

The mark IIE was fitted an Austro-Daimler engine with an output of 120 hp was fitted. It was two Green engines with the same combined output of 120 hp that Cody originally intended to use when he designed and built the mark II though problems with synchronicity meant that this was never carried out and instead just one of these engines was used meaning that aircraft was underpowered though alterations to the engine and the removal of excess weight partly solved this problem. With the Austro-Daimler engine fitted (January 1912) the aircraft could carry four passengers and was the first aircraft to do so in this country. It was eventually crashed by Lieut. J N Fletcher whilst Cody was teaching him to fly on the 5th April 1912.}}
