The Hinkler Ibis was a British two-seat wooden amphibian monoplane designed and built by the Australian aviator Bert Hinkler while working in the United Kingdom. [1] [2]
Hinkler designed and built the Ibis with the assistance of R.H. Bound at Hamble Aerodrome in Hampshire. [2] The wing was designed by Basil Henderson and built by Hendy Aircraft at Shoreham Airport. [2] It was a two-seat high-wing monoplane made of wood and powered by two 40 hp (30 kW) Salmson AD.9 radials. [2] The two engines were strut mounted back-to-back above the fuselage, one driving a pusher propeller, the other a tractor propeller. [2] The Ibis registered G-AAIS was first flown from Hamble in May 1930 and later stored in the garden of Hinkler's house in Southampton. [2] According to the aircraft's registration with the Civil Aviation Authority, it was deregistered in December 1933. [1] In 1953, it was found in a semi-derelict condition in the garden but was scrapped in 1959. [2]
