About this artwork

S F Cody was the first to successfully fly a heavier than air, powered aircraft in Britain, this painting represents that flight at Farnborough in Hampshire, UK. The scene is accurately depicted just before he made a heavy landing after covering 1390 feet.
The original painting now hangs in the headquarters of the Royal Aeronautical Society, with prints on show in the FAST Museum Farnborough, and Dayton Ohio, the home of the Wright brothers.
This is a limited edition of 100 prints and is available unframed if preferred for £40.
