The Caledonia monoplane was built by the Scottish Aviation Co. from designs by Mr. F. Norman, the General Manager of the Company.
Mr. Norman is standing by the machine in overalls and talking across to Mr. Wilson, of the W. W. Proofing Co., a firm which is making a speciality of balloon fabrics in Glasgow.
The single-seat Caledonia was powered by a 35 hp JAP eight-cylinder engine and was fitted with a four wheel undercarriage, plus skids and flying in November 1911.
