Avro
Type F--
The first test flight of the Avro Type F in 1912, this image
portrays one of the few flights of the first aircraft in the world to feature
a completely enclosed cabin; it flew until damaged beyond repair in a hard
landing on 13 September of the same year after which it was not repaired.
The picture was commissioned to commemorate the building of a replica Type
F by the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
