Gern do not think you are right there. You are talking of the MK1 this one depicted here, the AF6, was a forerunner of the MK1

The Galvanized Rust Bucket Company rolled this one out in 1877 or was it 1878. It did not have tyres & in fact only just got wheels the day before the maiden flight when they found that it had to take off.

Rather sad it crashed as depicted in a bush. They discovered they had added to much to much rust & over loaded the frame. Later also discovered it was better to have a pilot.

Just out of curiosity, is this the one with the steam powered Cayley rotary engine, can't see if it has the obligatory bucket for the coal fitted.
