On 29 October Cody set a new British endurance record in the aircraft, flying for five hours and fifteen minutes.

Developed from his Michelin Cup winning machine of 1910 and using the same 60 horsepower (45 kW) Green engine the Cody Circuit of Britain biplane was a pusher biplane with a single frontal elevator supported by booms at the centre and either end and two rear-mounted rudders, each supported by a boom at top and bottom and fitted with a small horizontal fixed stabiliser.

Like the Michelin Cup aircraft, it had a tricycle undercarriage with an added long rear skid and distinctive wheels mounted on each lower wingtip.

[1] The Circuit of Britain biplane made its maiden flight on 13 July 1911.

Cody, who was instructing Harvey-Kelly, was severely injured in the crash.
