On February 27, 1931, Oscar Garden landed a DH 60 de Havilland Gipsy Moth named
Kia Ora at Horseshoe Bay. The flight came about after a £5 bet with Myross Bush man Geoff Todd. Todd was in the Gipsy Moth with Garden, a model of plane that the Tiger Moth would replace. It seems most of the town went to the beach to watch. At that time, only a few planes had flown over the island before, and some children were so frightened at the sight of an aircraft approaching they ran and hid in the bush.
Supplied The first flight over the island was 10 years earlier, on January 13, 1921.
