The Wight Baby, 9098, on the River Medina at Cowes, Isle of Wight. A folding-wing single-seat scout, the Wight design was in the same class as the Sopwith Baby. 9098 was the second of three prototypes, 9097, 9098 and 9100. It was not accepted for production. Wight aircraft were built by Samuel White's shipyard and in the background is the destroyer Medina being completed.

MAJOR AND MINOR. Photographed on the maker's slipway (J. Samuel White & Co. Ltd. of Cowes. l.o.W.) in 1916 are two lesser-known naval prototypes: (left) the Air Dept. of the Admiralty A.D.1000 five-seat torpedo-bomber (serial 1358) and the White Baby single-seat scout (serial 9097). Three of the latter were built, but, like the 115-ft.-span A.D.1000, the 30-ft. 8-in.-span Baby was not operationally successful. The twin-boom A.D.1000 had two tractor (and one pusher) 3 10-h.p. Sunbeams, while the Baby had a 100-h.p. Gnome Monosoupape rotary.
