As Hamel was unable to procure a Bleriot identical with Hucks's machine, the £500 bet was withdrawn and Hamel used a J\lIorane-Saulnier monoplane but carried his mechanic as a handicap to compensate for the superior performance of his machine. m. and, after a very close race, Hamel won by 20·4 seconds. An extremely close finish was witnessed at the Hendon September Meeting on 6 September, 1913, in the four-lap Cross-country Handicap of 16 miles over the Bittacy Hill course when, in a strong wind, Philippe Marty flying a Morane-Saulnier beat Marcus lvlanton piloting the Birudder 'Bus by 0·2 sec to win the London Aerodrome Prize.
