Development

The Bantam was a conventional biplane powered by a nose-mounted 80hp (60kW) Le Rhône rotary engine with a single open cockpit.[1] Two aircraft took part in the 1919 Aerial Derby at Hendon Aerodrome, but neither finished the race.[1] A third example was flown in South Africa in the 1920s.[1]
