EDGAR glider (Norman W. Edgar, Bristol)
Flown by members of the Bristol and West of England Aero Club, this biplane glider was built during 1913 with the intention of fitting a light engine later. However the wing area was found to be inadequate and the intention was not realized.
It was a sesquiplane with twin booms, parallel in plan, carrying the tailplane and rudder, and was mounted on an undercarriage with two motorcycle wheels and skids.
