Ready for the big Jump !

Rutger Booij reports:"Today 95 years ago Louis Blériot took off with his little plane from a Normandy beach and landed exactly 31 minutes later at the other side of the Canal near Dover. That was incredibly fast for that time, but more important.... nobody ever did before. Yet Blériot was known not only for flying in that time. Since the end of the 19th century his name is known from switches, electrical headlamps etc. We guess that gave him the resources for his expensive 'hobby'. Click photo to take off for more about him at Blériot.org. (photo Kees Koster; click >here< to get the switch)
