Inverkeithing
Note: Needless to say, this map only gives the location of Inverkeithing within the UK. I suppose that today nobody knows where Lieut. Dawes actually landed?
INVERKEITHING: Temporary Landing Ground
Location: Close to and E of Rosyth on the north bank of the Firth of Forth
NOTES: In late August/early September 1913 No.2 Squadron RFC flew from MONTROSE to RATHBANE near Limerick in Ireland via STRANRAER (DUMFRIES & GALLOWAY).
Lieut. Dawes had to land and stay overnight in INVERKEITHING due to a broken petrol pipe.
See STRANRAER for a fuller account of this pioneering flight.
