This aircraft has a claim on the first production use of a novel feature 
!
Edit: and that being the application of the monocoque fuselage, the wooden skins of which were copper sewn by the Saunders 'Consuta' process at the works of Williams and Co. of Littlehampton.
Whether this made them look like a bloater I don't know, but Ken is quite right, well done!!
It is the White & Thompson NT.3 'Bognor Bloater' of 1915
skytrain10 has control
