Grahame-White Bantam

The Grahame-White G.W.E.6 Bantam was a British single-seat sporting biplane, designed by M Boudot and built by Grahame-White Aviation Company at Hendon.

Development

The Bantam was a conventional biplane powered by a nose-mounted 80 hp Le Rhône rotary engine with a single open cockpit. Two aircraft took part in the 1919 Aerial Derby at Hendon Aerodrome, but neither finished the race. A third example was flown in South Africa in the 1920s.
