The photo is not of the Dyott monoplane edit

Whatever monoplane the photo shows, it is definitely not the Dyott Monoplane, that had a totally different tail, with no rudder surface under the fuselage. It didn't have the large cut-outs at the wing roots either. The aircraft in the photo looks like a Morane-Borel. Dyott flew many types of aircraft, perhaps he is the pilot, but it certainly is not the Dyott monoplane. 77.100.216.20 (talk) 16:52, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Further to the last - More examination of photos show the aircraft is most close to the "Kantner-Moisant" monoplane layout, Also known as the "Moisant Bluebird". - Dyott is known to have done work for Moisant, his trip to Mexico where he took up the Mexican president for a flight was done as a sales venture for Moisant. 77.100.216.20 (talk) 17:29, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
