About Cecil Grace Arguably the earliest instance of a plane and its pilot went missing is the 1910, with the disappearance of Cecil Grace, Aviator. Cecil Grace (1880-1910), one of the very earliest British aviators, was a participant in most of the principal flying meetings held in 1910, piloting his Short-Farman biplane at Bournemouth, Lanark and elsewhere. The Lanark meeting was the first of itskind in Scotland and witnessed 21 aviators competing for a number of prizes. Born in Chile and the son of a banker, Cecil Grace graduated from Columbia University and later studied at Oxford. Grace flew his biplane from Dover to Sangatte on 22 December 1910, but went missing, presumed lost at sea, when attempting the return journey the same day in foggy conditions. Some of his personal effects were washed up on the Belgian coast near Mariakerke in January 1911.
