Development[]
With prizes worth a total of £2,150, the Lympne light aircraft competition of October 1923 attracted 28 entries including the Tandem Monoplnae which was given competition number 27.[1]
The aircraft was a single-seat tandem monoplane designed and built by Percy Salmon at Farnborough, England.[2] It was powered by a 3.5 hp (2.6 kW) Bradshaw motorcycle engine driving a pusher propeller.[2] It was registered as G-EBHQ on 23 March 1923 and was ready to fly by September 1923.[2] The aircraft could not fly and was stored at Farnborough until it was later burnt.[2]
