Last of series about the aviation pioneers of Scotland

This picture shows the 1909 Barnwell Canard Biplane a little more clearly. It was their second design with the tail-first. It was flown down the fields opposite Fraser's on 28th July 1909 reaching a distance of 80 yeards, before crashing. Harlod Barnwell was the pilot, but as the early flights did not achieve much height, he was not badly injured on crashing.
We hope you've enjoyed reading this brief series about early Scottish aviation history and seeing the pictures. We've made a file of this and embedded it in page 2 of our webpage, near the bottom of the page (http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com/page2.htm). We also hope it maybe something you would like to follow up when you visit.
