The Bleriot XI monoplane is one of the earliest civil aircraft to be flown in Australia.
One of Carey's pupils, K.J. Claffey, a farmer from Denliquinn, NSW, purchased the Bleriot in 1920 and it was subsequently purchased by the Department of Civil Aviation in 1939 for a proposed display at Mascot aerodrome, in Sydney.
Bleriot was amongst the first aviators to adopt the logical system of cockpit controls that is now universal, namely a foot operated rudder bar for control in yaw; a central lever that tilts forward and back, and left and right for control in pitch and roll and a hand throttle.
