[hesham]

Hi,

A little known about Projects from this company,in 1913 they designed a Waterbus,it
was a seaplane developed from No.6,followed by a Transatlantic monoplane of 1914,
which was powered by one 215 hp Sunbeam engine,they remained un-finished airplanes.

There was in 1914,a Pusher Biplane,also never completed,who has more.

Here's the Martinsyde Trans-Atlantic monoplane from 1914. This aircraft was to have been flown on the Atlantic Ocean crossing by Gustave Hamel, who unfortunately was killed in the same year.
