“Nice it is said it will sour like an eagle.” “Okay you take the first attempt and I’ll watch. “ Mostly the comments that were heard coming from the first test pilots in their barracks. 👍

We had an aviation pioneer in Australia at the same time as Gustave Whitehead (Gustav's name actually being anglicised from his original name - Gustav Albin Weisskopf ).
Our pioneer was Lawrence Hargrave, and his grave is featured on one of the tours of the cemetery that I volunteer at. Hargrave shared a lot of information with the Wright brothers.

Ah, one of those fiendish English aircraft chased away by the capture of English airfields in 1776.
