Voisin and Farman's Fish
As a footnote to this interesting thread, although the Flying Fish was a design that Farman always claimed as his own, it was in fact patented by Gabriel Voisin (soon after the closed circuit kilometre in January 1908).
Construction began at the Voisin works in rue de la Ferme before moving to the new factory on the Quai du Point du Jour; the large 'banana' fuselage (one of a series of six) was probably recycled into one of the canard prototypes.
