Alcock and Brown Memorial.
British aviators Alcock and Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight in June 1919. Two memorials commemorating the flight are sited near the landing spot in County Galway, Ireland. The first is an isolated cairn four kilometres south of Clifden on the site of Marconi's first transatlantic wireless station from which the aviators transmitted their success to London, and around 500 metres from the spot where they landed. In addition there is a sculpture of an aircraft's tail-fin (above) on Errislannan Hill two kilometres north of their landing spot, dedicated on the fortieth anniversary of their landing, 15th June 1959.
