	Bert Hinkler; The Lone Eagle
		The thought was for a machine that, as Bert Hinkler described it "needed no mechanic but would depend entirely on the pilot; every part must be accessible to a man standing on the ground." That objective was virtually the birth of what we now know as the light aeroplane.
		But they knew, as did Bert, that only three planes had ever flown from England to Australia; that the fastest of these three flights was twenty-eight days; and that none of the flights had been solo.
		It was typical of Bert Hinkler's determination and stamina that his last day's flight-from Bima to Darwin - was, with the exception of the first hop, the longest, in time and distance, of the whole long flight.

		In its day the Aldershot was probably the biggest and most powerful single engined aircraft in production and for Bert Hinkler it was what he termed a "two cushion job", he was short, and in most cockpits he needed at least one cushion, but the Avro Aldershot was big enough to merit two cushions.
		Known to all as 'Bert', he was a hero for many schoolboys in the 20s and 30s - especially after he became one of that intrepid band of men and women - the long distance flyers.
		Bert had spent much of his adult life in England, and for a time had lived with his wife Nancy at a house called Mon Repos at Thornhill Park, Southampton.
