    August 12th 1912

    Naval Aeroplanes at DOVER.

    On the 25th ult. two biplanes arrived at the Whitfield
    Aerodrome near Dover, having been flown over from Eastchurch.
    They were a new H. Farman biplane with Lieut. Parke in charge
    and a Short tractor biplane piloted by Lieut. Grey. The machines
    stayed at Dover over night, and during the evening made one or
    two trial flights. On the following day Lieut. Grey carried some
    despatches to the Lancaster Regiment, in camp at Dymchurch.


    April 19th 1913

    ACCOMPANIED by Miss Trehawke Davies, Mr. Gustav
    Hamel made a splendid trip along the South Coast on Monday
    from Shoreham to Dover. The two-seater Bleriot made the trip
    of 74 miles in 63 mins. During the trip, Mr. Hamel brought the
    machine down almost to the water by spiral vol plants at Brighton,
    Eastbourne and Hastings, and at Dover he planed down from a
    height of 3,000 ft. and circled over the harbour before landing at
    the Whitfield aerodrome.

    (The previous Friday Gustav Hamel had set a record flying continuously from Dover - Calais - Dunkirk - Dover. He had travelled with a passenger and the trip had taken 1hr 35m)
