The enclosed cabin fuselage was constructed of steel tubing as were various support structures along with the tail surfaces.Its interplane struts were unusual in forming a pair of "X"s on each side, when viewed from the front which eliminated the need for wire bracing and improved access to the cabin.One prototype, registered G-CYZJ, was built, after which the Royal Canadian Air Force indicated an interest in the type as a communications aircraft.[citation needed] On 9 September 1927 at Rimouski, Quebec on the Saint Laurence River about 280 km (170 mi) east of Quebec City, its RCAF pilot received 502 lb (228 kg) of mail from the west-bound RMS Empress of France.The aircraft capsized, broke up, and sank but the pilot escaped and the mail was recovered, which continued on by rail.
