North, the Grahame-White Type VI was a pusher configuration unequal-span biplane.
The control wires for the tail surfaces were carried inside the upper boom, an arrangement credited to Horatio Barber, for whose Aeronautical Syndicate Ltd North had worked.
The aircraft was armed with a Colt .30-calibre machine gun on a flexible mounting at the front of the nacelle.
The underpowered aircraft only just managed to clear the hedge at the boundary of the airfield, and made a forced landing in the next field.
[2] North went on to design a broadly similar aircraft with a more conventional four-boom mounting for the tail surfaces, the Grahame-White Type XI.
