Eastchurch airfield
‘In 1909 Moore-Brabazon made the first live cargo flight by fixed-wing aircraft, by tying a waste-paper basket to a wing strut of his Shorts-built Wright aircraft. Then, using it as a “cargo hold”, he airlifted one small pig.’

There is at least one photo of this event (and said piglet), and it has been published in a number of books. I first came across it in a book called “Aircraft Aircraft” published in the seventies.
