This is the second of the two Cody V Biplanes. The first was built in 1912 from the remains of two earlier aircraft, both of which had crashed. In September 1912 it was declared the winner of the Military Trials held at Salisbury and it subsequently joined No4 Sqn, Royal Flying Corps, in December 1912. The second aeroplane first flew in January 1913, but in April 1913 the first machine broke up mid-air, after which the second was not flown again. In November that year it joined the Science Museum and remains on display in the ‘Flight’ Hall. Science Museum, South Kensington, London. 16-6-2015

Nederlands: Het beeld is het bovenstuk van een grafpaal. Een belangrijk cultureel aspect van heel Madagaskar is de prominente plaats die de voorouders innemen. Dit vindt vooral zijn uitdrukking in de begrafenisrituelen. Deze begeleiden de gestorvene in een geleidelijke overgang naar de status van voorouder. Deze beelden waren bovenstukken van graven van belangrijke Sakalava-families. De graven bestonden uit rechthoeken met een houten omheining. De Sakalava vertellen weinig over de betekenis van hun grafbeelden. In tegenstelling tot andere groepen zullen ze na het begraven van hun doden de graven niet meer bezoeken en zoeken ze ook geen contact meer met de overledenen. Bezittingen van de doden worden op het graf gelegd of aan de palen gehangen. Men treft onder andere zijn/haar gebruiksvoorwerpen zoals een paraplu, valies, hoed, etc. De graven werden zo'n drie generaties onderhouden en daarna overgelaten aan de tand des tijds. De vogel, mijoa, staat symbool voor de relatie tussen de levenden en de doden. De beelden hebben een vaste plek op het graf: op de omheining staan op de noordoost- en zuidwesthoek vogelfiguren, op de noordwesthoek een mannelijke figuur en op de zuidoosthoek een vrouwelijke figuur. Dit zijn vermoedelijk beeltenissen van de overledenen.

English: Pseudodiplacodon progressum (Peterson, 1934) - fossil brontothere skeleton from the Eocene of Utah, USA. (CM 11879, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) Formerly known as Diplacodon progressum. This is the holotype specimen of Pseudodiplacodon progressum. This species is a brontothere (a.k.a. titanothere), an extinct group of moderately large, rhinoceros-like mammals. Many brontotheres had nasal horns - this feature was sexually dimorphic (present in males, absent in females). From museum signage: "[Pseudodiplacodon] had two distinctive nasal horns. This huge titanothere was one of the earliest to develop horns, a characteristic shared by later animals of the family."
