Default History

From Philip Wills' book, Free As A Bird. p.8

"At the end of the meeting Manyrol, flying a glider with two identical
wings fore and aft, with the pilot sitting between them, won the prize
with a duration of 3hr 21min ...."

That was in 1922. Can someone name this machine and point me to a picture
of it?
