14 June 1913

Eric Pashley returned to Bognor on Saturday, June 14, 1913, landing in the same spot, where, according to the Observer, ‘thousands flocked to see the aviator’. This time a number of locals were taken up for short ‘joy’ flights, including Mrs Elizabeth Taylor, the wife of the hotelier. It wasn’t a cheap experience. Two guineas per head, in fact, which worked out at about £1 per mile.
