Deperdussin Monoplane

The Monoplane was the first successful design of the Aéroplanes Deperdussin. The type was produced in a number of variants which were flown successfully in air races and gained several records during 1911.
There four known survivors in the world:

• Shuttleworth Collection, England - this is probably the 3rd oldest flying aeroplane in the world - see photographs. This is believed to be N° 43. Built in 1910 and used at Hendon until sold in damaged condition in 1914, to be repaired and flown again.  It was acquired by Richard Shuttleworth in 1936 and restored to fly again since 1937 (registered G-AANH). It still flies in calm weather, and is normally restricted to straight hops. 
  
• A type B at the Musée de l'Air (Le Bourget, Paris) - see photographs.
• Norsk Teknisk Museum, Oslo
• RAAF Museum, Point Cook, Australia
