Statue of Charles Stewart Rolls, co-founder (with Sir Henry Royce) of Rolls Royce motor cars. It commemorates his non-stop flight across the English Channel and back on June 2nd, 1910. Located Dover (UK) seafront facing the sea.
Abridged excerpt from The Pioneers:
This image/photo also appears in the Panoramio Forum.
Also see Dover's seafront bust of Captain Matthew Webb and the memorial to Louis Bleriot, the first man to fly one-way across the English Channel (1909).
