• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I always thought John Alcock and Arthur Witten-Brown were first to cross the Atlantic in 1919 flying a Vickers Vimy, admittedly not as stylish as the S.55 but still worth remembering.

Pardon me I just realised they mean east to west as opposed to hailing from the western hemisphere.
