"The Blériot XI is a French aircraft of the pioneer era of aviation. The first example was used by Louis Blériot to make the first flight across the English Channel in a heavier-than-air aircraft, on 25 July 1909. This is one of the most famous accomplishments of the pioneer era of aviation, and not only won Blériot a lasting place in history but also assured the future of his aircraft manufacturing business."

This replica was built in 2003 by engineering students at the Burnie TAFE College. It actually flew!
Here is video footage of the real thing - not a replica. "World's Oldest Flying Aeroplane | Blériot XI ( 1909 ) at Sanicole 2017"
