Tractor Biplane, 1913

John and Reginald Duigan - A Photographic Gallery


After the first successful aeroplane of 1909/10 and a second (constructed in 1912 with AV Roe in England), John now back in Australia and with the help of his brother Reginald, constructed a third aircraft at their parents' home in Ivanhoe, a suburb of Melbourne.

The aircraft, a two seat tractor biplane based on the AVRO ENV crashed on its maiden flight at Keilor Plains in February 1913. In the crash John was badly bruised and the brothers did not rebuild the aircraft.
