Built by J A Prestwich in North London (builders of JAP motorcycle engines) for H J Harding, a former motorcycle racer and the Paris representative of JAP engines. The aircraft was built to demonstrates JAP's eight cylinder aero engine which, along with a four cylinder version, was supplied to various British aircraft companies. It first flew in April 1910 at Lea Marshes, close to JAP's factory at Tottenham. This photo is copyright © Gordon Riley, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
