Here is another wonderful picture of the Humber factory Bleriot type monoplane at the Coventry works in 1910,a real piece of social history in itself,not sure who the people are probably works managers and other higher hierchy ? the engine is probably an Anzani 3-cylinder,once again the eagle eyed will spot spare wings and building materials in the background of the picture.
A quirk of events brought on by these old pictures has evolved,it appears that the oldest flying machine in the world is the Bleriot moboplane held at the Shuttleworth collection at Old Warden in Bedfordshire,well it also transpires that this machine was built at the Humber works in Coventry,so the oldest flying machine that still actually flies in the whole world was built in Coventry.
