Final version of the Quadruplane with revised empennage, taken at Brooklands.

From the Wessex Aviation Society at Stapehill, Wimborne, Dorset, comes the photograph of the nearly completed fuselage of its Wight Quadruplane reproduction. Characteristic features of this one-off curio, built as a private venture in 1916, are already visible in the tiny horn-balanced rudder, excessively tall tailskid, and the root fittings for the patented Wight double-camber wings. The reproduction will depict the Quadruplane in its original form.
