| Van Meel Waterbrik |
| The Netherlands, 1913 - Marinus
van Meel has been an active aircraft designer for only a short period.
His very first biplane from 1912 was a Farman copy. From there he
steadily developed his own designs, but never built large quantities.
This Waterbrik from 1913 was his third. Floats replaced the original
wheeled version and Van Meel demonstrated it on the river Waal at
Tiel, The Netherlands. The military authorities were satisfied with
Van Meel's products, but eventually chose the Farmans F.20 and F.22
for their air force. By the end of 1915 Van Meel turned his back to
aviation and picked up his original profession again. |
