Summary edit
| Description |
A memorial sculpture in Ainsdale to commemorate a couple of pioneering non-stop trans-Atlantic flights which set out from Ainsdale Sands back in the 1930s. Pretty much flying fuel tanks to allow the non-stop twenty four hour flights! One of the flights loaded up spare space in the fuselage with ping-pong balls to help buoyancy if the aircraft didn't quite make it! One of the flights carried film footage of the Hindenburg disaster to Europe and one of the return flights carried film of King George's coronation to the United States. ainsdale.info/flying.html |
