Lost Flyers Britain's Greatest Heroes Now
Harry Hawker and McKenzie reached British soil after being forced to land near mid ocean on a Sopwith cross Atlantic attempt from Newfoundland to Ireland. Rescued by the Danish tramp Mary and landed in Scotland, they were expected to travel to London for a royal welcome. The voyage was halted by a blocked radiator feed pipe causing engine trouble. The London Daily Mail offers a 50,000 purse for the first heavier‑than‑air Atlantic crossing. Hawker and Grieve may receive 6,000 pounds sterling if they remain unbeaten. The pair are reported in good health and the rescue prompted massive public enthusiasm across Britain.
