Grahame Whites visit to Penzance 1910

Grahame Whites visit to Penzance 1910 - touted as 1st person to fly in Cornwall - with a nice picture of him flying over the fleet in Mounts Bay
Remarkable find .. it was this incident that prompted aircraft to be regarded as serious vehicles of warcraft, a message was dropped from this plane on to the deck of HMS Dreadnought; it was later considered by the War Department as a possibility that explosive devices could be dropped similarly. That is the place of Mount s Bay in WWI history.
