History
The single-seat tractor Creese-Dederich Monoplane was designed by A. G. Creese and W. Dederich, and appeared at the 1909 Blackpool Aviation Meeting. No reports of any successful flights. As a small point of interest, Creese was awarded a bronze medal at the 1910 Olympia Aero Show for his "Lumina" Stability Indicator, the Highest Award in Class for an original Aeroplane Accessory. W. Dederich was possibly William Dederich, of German origin, born in Cologne on 6 October 1872, and later a naturalised British citizen.
