A replica of the famous aircraft built by Louis Blériot during the pioneer era of aviation. It was used to make the first flight across the Channel on July 25, 1909. The XI remained in production in various variants until the outbreak of WWI. 2 original frames were restored (in the UK and USA), which are believed to be the world's oldest flyable aircraft.
