A motorcycle of the air, designed by Dutchman Frits Koolhoven for British Aerial Transport and powered by an ABC Gnat aero engine of 40 hp. The sole example never carried a registration. Performance was poor and handling 'too tricky' according to Flight. The journal suggested that it drew attention mainly from women and boys at the 1920 Olympia Aero Exhibition, while men knew better. In the background is a BAT FK.26 Commercial airliner, G-EANI. Photo from: Flight
