Cody’s British Army Aeroplane No 1 shortly before it made the celebrated first powered, sustained and controlled flight in the UK. The curious fabric “fantail” extending from the upper wing trailing edge to the top of the rudder was soon done away with; just another of the numerous changes the machine under­went during its protracted period of construction.

Samuel Cody's first biplane, known as British Army Aeroplane No 1. It underwent various modifications during its existence, this photograph shows it as it was in October 1908. On the 16th of that month it made what is recognised as the first properly sustained flight by an aeroplane in Britain.

The one and only photograph of Cody making the first powered flight in the UK, at Farnborough on October 16, 1908. Farnborough Common's unsuitability as a testing ground for pioneer aeroplanes quickly became apparent. Cody struggling to avoid trees and bushes.

Cody in flight at the Doncaster Aviation Meeting in October 1909. The aeroplane generally flew well after a 60/80 h.p. ENV engine had been fitted, enabling passengers to be carried, but its performance at Doncaster was poor.

Following the crash at the end of its first flight, BAA No.1 was rebuilt and considerably modified, emerging as the ‘Cody 1B’ in January 1909. Note the old top rudder repositioned behind the foreplanes, and the streamers attached to the wings to make the airflow visible.

An ignominious end to a glorious event; British Army Aeroplane No 1 following its abrupt descent after losing height while manoeuvring to avoid trees and bushes on Farnborough Common. The aircraft never flew again in this form, but underwent substantial modification before it re-emerged some three months later.
