Glenten

Glenten was a copy of the French Henry-Farman bi-plane. It was built during the winter of 1910-11 by Robert Svendsen. It was used after the Henry-Farman plane used to cross the waters to Sweden was destroyed. Glenten was later donated to the Navy. It was used until 1913 when the Navy stopped training pilots using land-planes. It is today on display at the Teknisk Museum in Helsingør.
