Development
With prizes worth a total of £2,150, the Lympne light aircraft competition of October 1923 attracted 28 entries including the Tandem Monoplane which was given competition number 27.

The aircraft was a single-seat tandem winged aero designed and built by Percy Salmon at Farnborough, England. It was powered by a 3.5 hp Bradshaw motorcycle engine driving a tractor propeller mounted at the end of a strut-braced driveshaft. It was registered as G-EBHQ on 23 March 1923 and was ready to fly by September 1923. Several take-off attempts were made by Flying Officer Cecil Bouchier, but they were unsuccessful. The aircraft was stored at Farnborough until it was later burnt.
