Everson aircraft : ウィキペディア英語版 | Everson aircraft Everson aircraft were constructed by brothers Arthur and Ernest Everson. They built three aircraft from the late 1920s. Their third, the Everson Evo III, was a long-range racing aircraft from New Zealand. It was the first and to date only twin engined aircraft designed and built in New Zealand. The Eversons also built a number of cars and a gyrocopter. ==Evo== The Evo was built in the late 1920s by Ernest and Arthur Everson of 9 Sentinel Road, Herne Bay. Evo was powered by a Henderson motor cycle engine. News of their construction was reported in 1928, with interest being shown in national newspapers.〔"Aucklanders' feat", ''Evening Post'', Volume CVI, Issue 61, 24 September 1928, Page 11〕 Ernest was described as the aircraft's designer. He was a draughtsman and had a keen interest in aircraft, having built a number of successful models. Neither he nor his brother had any flying experience.〔"Monoplane built", ''Evening Post'', Volume CVI, Issue 87, 22 October 1928, Page 8〕 Despite an attempt at to fly the machine at the Mangere speedway on 10 July 1929 it never actually flew, instead had crashed attempting to take off. The ''Auckland Sun'' had reported a flight by the aircraft but this had turned out to be a hoax, possibly perpetrated by the brothers and their friends. The competing ''New Zealand Truth'' made much of its rival's error. The paper went on to say that the local Auckland Aero Club had refused the boys permission to use their field at Mangere because they considered the plane a hazard.〔"Was it a flight of fancy?" ''NZ Truth'', Issue 1232, 11 July 1929, Page 2〕 The boys were aged 20 and 18 respectively at the time.
