1911
Pilot licence No. 147, dated 17 October, in the name of William B. R. Moorhouse issued by the Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom in English and French text - and unsigned! Following his two flights to Spratton Grange on 3 October (landing at Northampton racecourse on the way) and 6 October, he undertook his qualifying 30 minute 'test' over Huntingdon aerodrome (which he part owned with James Radley) on Saturday 7 October in the presence of five Aero Club representatives. Needless to say, he passed! The following Thursday, he flew to Cambridge to 'take tea' with a friend!
