Cody aircraft mark IIE (Omnibus - so named because of it's passenger carrying capabilities) outside his shed on a rather muddy Laffan's Plain. Work is being carried out on one of the rudders. 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 passengers sat in four metal tractor seats positioned behind the pilot. The seats were in two tiers on either side of the engine. Note the twin rudder arrangement, this was the only mark II aircraft to have this arrangement and may have been used to counter increased instability caused by the powerful engine. The twin rudder is similar in design to the next aircraft that Cody built.}}
