CHANTER monoplane (M. Chanter, Hendon and Shoreham)
This machine was built at Hendon and moved to Shoreham in November 1911, when Chanter transferred his school. It was a single-seater monoplane based on the Nieuport and fitted with a 35hp fan-type Anzani. It flew for the first time at Shoreham on 1 January 1912, but was destroyed in a hangar fire on 29 February 1912.

Chanter Monoplane
The single-seat tractor Chanter Monoplane was designed and built during 1911 by M. Chanter at his flying-school at Hendon. It was a small machine of neat appearance, based on the Nieuport design, with a very good view from the cockpit, which was situated near the nose. The engine was the three-cylinder 35 h.p. Anzani. The Chanter Monoplane was used for training at Shoreham, Sussex, when the school was transferred there.

LAST week-end has seen the successful completion of two machines - the Collyer-England tractor biplane and the Chanter monoplane. The first-named made straight flights on Saturday and Monday, with Dowland in control, and was put through a fair amount of rolling by both England and Dowland. Mr. M. Chanter took his new monoplane out on Monday, and was in the air with her shortly after leaving the shed. On Tuesday, she was out again, Tinder the pilotage of her owner, and gave still better results. Ross, Gassier, Kent and Davies, were out on the Chanter school Bleriots.

MR. M. CHANTER continued the tests of his new monoplane, and put one of the Bleriots through its paces on Wednesday last week. At day-break the following morning, De Villiers was in the air with some good straight flights, and on Tuesday Mr. Chanter was testing a 40-h.p. Anzani-Bleriot which has been undergoing a complete overhaul; while Gassier and De Villiers were putting in more useful practice.
