C S Rolls centenary

Post by The Professor » Sat Jul 31, 2010 2:13 pm

On the 12th July 1910 Charles Stewart Rolls was killed in an air crash near Bournemouth. He was the first Briton to be killed in a flying accident.
On 11th July i attended an event to mark the centenary of his death and thought i would share a few photos of the event with you. The site was originally Southbourne areodrome but has long been the site of St Peters school and in a small corner of the playing field stands a memorial to C S Rolls. The school ran a series of events between 9th-12th July including several displays in one of the school buildings,there was a fly past by a Sptifire and a wreath laying ceremony. Rolls Royce Plc recently refurbished the memorial. I think its quite a nice touch that there was such a turn out to commemorate his achievements and the centenary of his death and to show that even 100 years after his death someone can still be bothered to pay their respects.

Also in attendance and all on its own was this little Temporino from Turin. It claimed to have rallied throug out Europe . Look at the width of the tyres.Imagine what it would be like in this little Italian job.
