A medium close up of Cody in the pilot's seat of Cody aircraft mark III. Cody built this aircraft for the Daily Mail Circuit of Britain race for which there was a �GBP10,000 first prize. The mark III was smaller and lighter than Cody's previous aircraft with this compensating for the relatively low power output of the Green engine. It followed a similar design and was fitted with twin rear rudders.

It was also in this aircraft that Cody won his second and third Michelin trophies. The �GBP400 Michelin Trophy No. 1 (2nd series), for the fastest completion of a 125 cross country flight (despite his quickest time being a relatively slow three hours, due to mechanical problems, Cody won because none of the other eight entrants could complete the course) and the �GBP600 Michelin Trophy No. 3 (1st series) for flying the furthest distance in a closed circuit setting new British time and distance records as he did this. This machine was crashed and badly damaged on the 3rd July 1912 when it hit a tree whilst the pilot Major H D Harvey-Kelly was landing.}}
