Hinkler designed and built the Ibis with the assistance of R.H. Bound at Hamble Aerodrome in Hampshire.[2] The wing was designed by Basil Henderson and built by Hendy Aircraft at Shoreham Airport.[2] It was a two-seat high-wing monoplane made of wood and powered by two 40 hp (30 kW) Salmson AD.9 radials.[2] The two engines were strut mounted back-to-back above the fuselage, one driving a pusher propeller, the other a tractor propeller.[2] The Ibis registeredG-AAIS was first flown from Hamble in May 1930 and later stored in the garden of Hinkler's house in Southampton.[2] According to the aircraft's registration with the Civil Aviation Authority, it was deregistered in December 1933.[1] In 1953, it was found in a semi-derelict condition in the garden but was scrapped in 1959.[2]
