If you're going to talk about First Flights and ignore location, then those down home bicycle boys are right out of the picture 'cos Richard Pearse first flew in New Zealand some 9 months before they did. Sadly, he didn't get the official verification of the event and neither did he continue on with development as the demand wasn't quite there like it was for the Wrights. Either way, the South Island of New Zealand is *way* closer to Australia than the USA, so Richard wins for me :) Anyhow, this still isn't resolving the issue of NSW vs VIC here down under. David & I have been emailing with John M (an aviation history guy living down here in Melbourne) and we'll see how it all pans out :) :) :) :) Cheers, Grant Hi Guys,
