		Alcock and Brown were treated as heroes on the completion of their flight.

		Alcock and Brown literally flew by the seat of their pants, with the dubious aid of a pair of clinometers, an airspeed indicator, an altimeter and a clock.
		Climbing over it was impossible and when Brown worked out their position he recorded the wind speed as nil (though in fact it can't have been, as you can't get fog without a light breeze).
		Brown grabbed his sextant and took a fix, which, in further testimony to Alcock's skill as a pilot, showed they were only a few miles south of their planned route.

		Before dark Brown might once more be able to take his position by the sun; but after nightfall it was questionable whether the stars would be bright enough to guide the fliers reliably on their course.
		Brown wrote to Alcock: "Must see stars now." Their altitude was 6,500 ft. and they were surrounded by clouds and darkness.
		Brown jerked himself free, and, in the blinding snow, he wriggled forward from strut to strut and from cable to cable, holding on with one hand.

		Flying a modified Vickers Vimy IV twin-engined bomber, they took off from Newfoundland in the late afternoon June 14, 1919 and landed in a marsh in Connemara, Ireland, at 8:40am on June 15, 1919.
