An article in June Pilot mag states-
'on 8th June1908, A V Roe flew his 24hp biplane and briefly took to the air becoming the first Englishman to fly a powered aeroplane of his own design. On 16th October 1908 S F Cody achieved what is now recognised as the first powered aeroplane flight in Britain.'
Can someone explain why Roe's flight isn't recognised?
