The Seddon Biplane, an aircraft designed by Lt. John Wilfred Seddon R.N. and Mr A. G. Hackett (first name unknown). Nicknamed "The Mayfly", it was a six-seat, tandem biplane and the world's largest aeroplane at that time. It was tested at the Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton, flying ground of the Midland Aero Club but failed completely to emulate its name and was later broken up without having left the ground.
