Mr. Slack Crosses the Channel.
ACCOMPANIED by his little son, Mr. Robert Slack, on the 27th ult., flew across the channel from Dover to Calais on his Blériot monoplane. With an unfavourable wind he took three-quarters of an hour for the trip.
Robert Slack is my grandfather. Do you have any more information about his ’round Britain tour?
Thank you.
I am researching early flight in Sheffield and have digital downloads of local newspaper articles of his flight here. He was the first person to intentionally land a plane in Sheffield.
