William Ewart Hart (1885-1943), a dentist by profession, in 1911 bought a Bristol Boxkite and first flew solo on 3 November. He was presented with Australian aviator’s licence no.1, dated 5 December 1911. Hart had a serious accident in a two-seat monoplane at Richmond on 4 September. He was badly injured and never flew again.
