Yes, it was. 11th person in the world to be killed in an aeroplane accident. He was flying a Wright Brothers machine in 1910. Rolls broke the Land Speed Record driving at 83mph but there was a problem with the timing so although accepted he did break the speed, it wasn't official. He took up flying which turned out to be the death of him. As a result, he never got to see how huge Rolls-Royce were to become. Over to you.
Cheers Andy. A bit of Australiana - there's a unique species of creature which only lives within a 40 square mile area around the summit of an extinct volcano, and which is named after the volcano. What sort of creature - and why is it unique?
Whoops - time for a clue. The 4,900ft volcano is in New South Wales, and most of the summit is designated wilderness, - a high-elevation snow gum forest. As the mountain is surrounded by dry plains, the forest puts it into the category of 'sky island'.
