25 January 1914

George Lee Temple, a British aviator, was killed at Hendon on 25 January 1914. He was making a difficult dive when a strong gust of wind caught the tail of his 50hp Gnome-powered Bleriot monoplane and the machine crashed to the ground. The aviator's neck was broken. Temple was the first British aviator to make a flight upside down in this country having accomplished the feat November 24.
