1910 Claude Grahame-White,
aviator, fined
The Standard, Montreal,
Canada, May 21st 1910
The Standard reported: "It cost Grahame-White, the
English aviator, who recently made a desperate attempt to beat
Paulhan for the prize of $50,000 for the flight from London to
Manchester, $25.00 for automobile speeding. He was accused of
running beyond the speed limit and was summoned to the Police
Court at Woking. He did not care to go by train, and so got out
his aeroplane at his home in Brooklands and flew over Woking
landing in a field a mile beyond the court. The field is the
property of the magistrate, who later fined Mr Grahame-White
$25.00 for his automobile offence."
