One of the three Basilisk aircraft built by the British Aerial Transport Company (BAT) and designed by Frederick Koolhoven; the first, F2906, was built with un-balanced ailerons, but F2907 and F2908 were built with horn-balanced ailerons, as in this photo. F2906 was destroyed after catching fire during a world record altitude attempt on 3 May 1919
