2019 is the centenary of Alcock and Brown’s Atlantic Flight, and I’d like to make a personal copy of Brown’s chart. Everyone knows where they took off from, and everyone knows where they landed. Many charts drawn after they event simply join those two points. I need to know where the line Brown drew on his chart before take-off actually finished. Was it Clifden Co Galway, or was it somewhere further on in Ireland. I believe the actual chart is in the RAF Museum, but that’s rather a long way away. Can anyone help me? DaveP
