We are constructing a flying replica of A6183 built in Richmond in April 1917. We are desperately seeking the design of the Whitehead emblem as used on struts and maybe if we are lucky whate the manufacturers plate on the instrument panel looked like. I hope you might be able to help
Thank you

. If it was known in the works as the Boyle Scout, that does suggest Boyle, but I would not say was conclusive. I have a picture of the Comet in the air on 'strafing tour - somewhere';

Indeed, no records have survived about the Comet, including, as stated here, evidence that it ever flew. It is not clear if it was designed by T. Navarro, who left Whitehead Aircraft to work on another scout project at Thomas Lowe & Sons, or if the designer was indeed the then 23 year old Edwin Boyle. If it was known in the works as the Boyle Scout, that does suggest Boyle, but I would not say was conclusive. I have a picture of the Comet in the air on 'strafing tour - somewhere'; however, it is a drawing!
