The first landing on a ship was by Eugene Ely in 1911, and the first landing on a moving ship was Sqn Cdr Dunning in 1917…. BUT in the build up to Dunning’s efforts, I would imagine there would have been a period of practice relating to towed platforms – perhaps a line for research into Mr. Berryman.

Edwin Dunning has a memorial on the wall of St.Lawrence Church Bradfield and I think he is buried in the Churchyard.He lived at Jaques Hall Bradfield.
