This aircraft designed by H. S. Dixon was a pusher or tail first,
with a boat shaped fuselage.
Known as the Nipper" it made some short flights in 1911 but
was eventually wrecked.
The controls were like the aircraft, unconventional, and the landing
gear a simple tricycle.
The non flying replica was built by Denton and Partners and was
called "the Little Tiddler",
