and you all thought that the Wright Brothers:, Orville and Annville: were the
first to fly a heavier-than-air machine! No Siree they weren't! Richard
pierce: (Bamboo Dick): of Timaru New Zealand beat them by several months, or
so word of mouth history tells!
Unfortunately, Dick was a right old weirdo and never thought to inform the
local newspaper of his attempt, so there is no * official record of the event!

even Frank Lambert (as we typewriter collectors know).
Here's a story that includes a link to the recording itself:
