Mr Orville Wright announces from Dayton (Ohio) that the original Wright airplane, invented by him and his brother Wilbur, aqd which made the first , flight on December 17th, 1903, will be sent to the Times’ Museum, South Kensington, England. He said no suitable home for the machine could be found in America, and this along with the entreaties from friends in England, led him to offer it to the Times Museum, where there is already an exhibit of historic experiments in aviation.
