Cecil Grace in Wright Aeroplane Startles Naval Officers at Sheerness[edit]

The following article appeared in the New York Times on May 1, 1910: The New York Times 1 May 1910

FLIES OVER BRITISH FLEET

Cecil Grace in Wright Aeroplane Startles Naval Officers at Sheerness

London, April 30. The fleet of British warships anchored off Sheerness had a novel experience to-day when an aeroplane from the Aero Club aviation grounds as East Church (Eastchurch) suddenly appeared out of the haze and manoeuvred over the vessels at varying heights. After making a deliberate reconnaisance the aerial craft disappeared from view. The aeroplane which startled the navy officers is a Wright model and was piloted by Cecil Grace. After leaving the harbor it flew nearly fifty miles in fifty-one minutes, rising at one time to a height of 1,500 feet.

East Church, containing the Royal Aero Club's aviation grounds, is on the Isle of Sheppey. Mr. Grace has been flying for some time, and his operations have attracted considerable attention. He uses a Short-Wright biplane. Last month while manoeuvring he fell from a considerable height, but received only a few scratches. His machine was damaged, but not beyond easy repair." --TraceyR (talk) 21:08, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances at Aviation meetings[edit]

Grace appeared at the 1910 aviation meetings at Blackpool and Lanark. Mention of his flight over the British fleet (see above) and his exploits at these meetings might enable the article to satisfy the final B class criterion. --TraceyR (talk) 22:34, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
