Bellamy aeroplane
From Graces Guide
Bellamy was a flamboyant Frenchman who had experimented in France and Italy in 1906 and claimed a flight of 500m at Modane in France on the biplane which he showed at a Milan exhibition, where it was suspended below a balloon. He arrived in England in December 1906 with a dismantled 'aeroplane', which he stated had been damaged in transit and established himself at Brooklands on the uncompleted site of the Railway Straight. His original experiments in France and Italy are believed to have made use of the Voisin-Archdeacon glider on floats much modified by Bellamy. The machine was described at the time in the Auto and ten years later in Flight and was quite different from that which Bellamy erected at Brooklands.
