This is apparently the Flanders F.4 (or F4): "The Flanders F.4 was a 1910s British experimental military two-seat monoplane aircraft designed and built by Howard Flanders as a development of the Flanders F.3." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanders_F.4 Wikipedia captions this photo as follows: "Flanders F.4, (No. 422) british monoplane, 1912 A Flanders monoplane undertaking experiments at Farnborough and Brooklands was the first service aircraft with radio in United Kingdom. The aircraft was fitted with a Marconi 6V battery-operated tuned-spark transmitter." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flanders-F4-1912.jpg

Part of postcard series elsewhere in Bain Collection of pre WWI British airplanes and airships.

And here's some motion picture footage:

Parseval was the name of the designer, and there were 22 such ships built. This one could be the PL-18 No. 4

artolog, Thank you very much for such in depth digging about the airship and the accompanying plane - and for providing great citations. We'll add more identifying information when we update this record.
