On 18 May 1919 Harry Hawker, chief test pilot for the Sopwith Aviation Company during the First World War, and K Mackenzie Grieve, an officer in the Royal Navy, took off from Pearl Aerodrome, in a Sopwith Atlantic aeroplane. Unfortunately, their aeroplane developed engine trouble after only 1,050 miles and they were forced to ditch in the water.
