Molesworth-Hughes 1911 Triplane

A modification of the underpowered 1910 MacKensie-Hughes triplane, which featured heavily back-staggered wings that have been seen as predecessors of the Handley-Page flaps. Even with a stronger 60 hp ENV engine it failed to fly, and was apparently abandoned after a take-off mishap at Brooklands in March 1911.
