-"Andrew Barr (1855-1939) and his Ornithopter of 1903.
- Andrew Barr (in 1877 aged 22 yrs) was born in Lesmahagow, Scotland, on 12 July 1855 and died at Bendering, WA on 9 February 1939.
On 2nd June, 1903, Andrew Barr, a pastoralist of Doodlakine West Australia, literally walked into the Perth Military Barracks. His business there involved a flying machine that he had invented.
Andrew Barr was offering his invention as a possible military machine and wanted six pounds per week while developing a full sized prototype. On completion, a final payment of one million pounds. Andrew Barr then went to London, and negotiated provisional patents there.
The English provisional specifications of 1904 regarding Andrew Barr's proposals for a full sized prototype indicate his preference for aluminium for the wings and body, steel bearings where necessary, a petrol engine, bicycle wheels geared to the motor to assist in achieving enough forward motion during take off etc.
'I live in hope that someday Andrew Barr's original model will be found, but the word is that on his return from overseas he destroyed it.'"
