Captain E.W. Wakefield operated passenger carrying service, initially using two biplane seaplanes built for him by Avro, then using a seaplane he designed and built, 1912, and a hydro-monoplane designed by Gnosspelius, that he built in 1912. Taken over 1914 by Northern Aircraft Co. (NAC).

SD dates the Lakes Hydro-monoplane as 1913 but given that Gunston has dated the Gnosspelius-designed monoplane as 13 February 1912 and that Lakes appears to have built only one monoplane, we have accepted 1912 as the date of the hydro-monoplane.
