Samuel F. Cody originally worked as a showman before turning to aviation. By 1905 he was working with the British Army's Balloon Section and in October 1908 he made the first official powered flight in Britain. In the above photograph Colonel Cody with his 1.25 ton Cody biplane preparing for ground run on one engine at International Aviation Meeting at Lanark in Aug1910 His biplane was the largest machine present. Cody made numerous attempts at flying but with the exception of one short flight his machine never left the ground. Some of the 15 large sheds specially constructed for the storage of the aircraft are in the background.

Aviation and Lanark
Lanark has a unique place in the history of aviation in Scotland: Scotland's first International Aviation meeting was held there between the 6th and 13th August 1910.
The meeting was one of the largest events organized in Scotland at that time. The aerodrome had over 9 miles of telephone cable, and the Aerodrome Post Office employed 30 telegraph operators. The Caledonian Railway Company built a new station, and a minimum of 14 special trains ran each day.
Competitions for cash prizes were on offer, including Long Distance, Cross Country Flights, Speed, Altitude, Weight Carrying and Delivery of Dispatches. The event attracted 22 aviators from all over the world, including one from Peru. The prizes offered were (for the time!) very generous. Most first prizes were over £250, and the winner of the Cross Country Flights Competition (over four days) was awarded £1,610.
The meeting, despite having a financial deficit, was regarded as a great success. World records for altitude and speed were set during the meeting, and official figures from the Treasurers to the Meeting gave a total of nearly 215,000 people attending during the six days.

Aviation in Scotland
On 25 August 1784 James Tytler attempted a flight from Edinburgh in a hot air balloon but rose only a few feet before the balloon broke free from his basket;. On 12 September 1785 Vincent Lunardi made a successful flight from Edinburgh in a hydrogen balloon.
Percy Pilcher in the 1890s flew his 'Bat' glider from Wallacetown Farm near Cardross. Barrhead Aerodrome was opened at Cowan Park in 1908. In 1909 the Barnwell Brothers made short flights in a biplane of their own design, near Stirling; Frank Barnwell was to go on to become the chief designer of the Bristol Aeroplane Company. The Scottish Aeronautical Society was founded in 1909 and in August 1910 their aviation meeting on Lanark Racecourse was attended by 200,000 people.
William Beardmore built aircraft and airships at Inchinnan during the First World War, including the airship R.34 which in 1919 left East Fortune for the first double crossing of the Atlantic. East Fortune is now the home of the Museum of Flight of the National Museums of Scotland.
In April 1933 two Scots, Flight Lieutenant D.F. McIntyre and Squadron Leader Lord Clydesdale were the first pilots to fly over Mount Everest.
From 1933 air services within Scotland and from Scotland to other parts of the United Kingdom were inaugurated and developed by various companies, notably: the Scottish Motor Traction Co (SMT), Midland and Scottish Air Ferries (by John Sword, the Western Manager of S.M.T. in Kilmarnock), Highland Airways (by E. E. Fresson), Aberdeen Airways (by E. L Gandar Dower), Northern & Scottish Airways and Scottish Airways.
Private flying and gliding spread throughout the country in the same period. The Royal Auxiliary Air Force established two Scottish squadrons, No. 602 "City of Glasgow" and No. 603 "City of Edinburgh" in 1925. Military activity in Scotland during the war included the production of 250 Short Sunderland maritime patrol flying boats at Dumbarton by Blackburns.
After the Second World War domestic services were taken over by the nationalised British European Airways which also continued the air ambulance service; these were later franchised by British Airways to the Scottish airline Loganair, based at Glasgow. Military airfields remained at Kinloss, Lossiemouth and Leuchars, with rescue helicopters based there and at the naval air station at Prestwick.

To help young people create interactive art, Pataphysical Studios taught a workshop on how to make your own ‘ art wonderbox.’ Our goal was to help kids create a cool experience with lights, motion and sounds, using simple electronic parts.
To that end, we invited 12 kids (ages 8 to 12) and their parents to this free workshop at the Mill Valley Library:
pataphysics.us/make-your-own-wonderbox/
This two-hour workshop took place on Saturday, October 17 at 2pm. In the course of two hours, we guided students through these tasks:

Instructors for this workshop were Fabrice Florin, Jean Bolte and Natalie Frederick, with support from Antonia Souza and Freddy Hahne. They are all members of Pataphysical Studios, the art collective behind the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine’, our poetic oracle.
Come visit the exhibit this month! We’re open every Saturday and Sunday in October, from 1 to 5pm, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library.
Special thanks to the Mill Valley Library and the Friends of the Library for making these workshops possible.
