I seem to recall a statue to Rolls, perhaps on the front at Dover. Maybe this is what Minimans was thinking of? It commemorates, I think, his non-stop double Channel crossing – the first time this had been done, and less than a year after Bleriot achieved the first single crossing. Five weeks later, he met his end in Bournemouth.
