Did you know that some of the very earliest manned flights took place not eight miles from Lynsted? That Eastchurch, Sheppey was chosen as suitably out of the way by those crazy young men determined to show that a heavier-than-air machine could really transport a man with bird-like ease? If not, and if you would like to know more, then allow me warmly to invite you to our next lecture: ‘Early Birds’. The speaker - Bill Croydon, an ex-aviator himself, gave an illustrate and gripping tale of tragedy and triumph that was enacted in this part of Kent – and beyond!
The talk took place in Norton Village Hall on Friday September 9th.
