A good side view of the Cody aircraft mark V outside the shed on Laffan's Plain, with a group posing next to the aircraft. This photograph is the full sized version of RAE-O 553 with the whole of the aircraft including the rudder visible. Note the black cat in the foreground. This could be his mascot, Cody was a superstitious person, for instance he would never fly on a Sunday or start projects on a Friday, he avoided the use of the number thirteen and most importantly of all avoided anything green on his aircraft, either being worn by a passenger or on the aircraft itself. Rumours suggest that this superstition may have been well founded, supposedly after one crash he found that the newly installed seat had a green label and according to some accounts his passenger in the fatal accident was wearing green socks.

With a 100hp Green engine fitted to this aircraft (entrants had to be all British) and increased fuel capacity Cody also won the Michelin Trophy No. 2 (2nd series) and it's £600 prize for making the fastest tour of a 186 mile circuit - in fact due to fog Cody flew 220 miles but to his surprise still won.}}
