Talk:Parrsboro

Edits to Parrsboro, Nova Scotia
I'm the first to comment here...cool.

I've taken it as my project to remove the stub status of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia; I'm from there, so I think it's the center of the world.

I also intend to write a lot about Cumberland County on the Minas Basin/Cobequid Bay.

The page that existed before I started is saved on my computer, so if anyone objects too much to my changes, I suppose that's what a discussion page is for.

1919 "ATLANTIC" HANDELY PAGE.
The "Atlantic" prepared for making the first transatlantic flight from Nova Scotia to England. In addition to Major Brackley, the pilot and the British Admiral Kerr there was also was another Norwegian pilot/navigator, Major Tryggve Gran. He was, in July 30th.1914, the first to fly across the North Sea from Cruden Bay in Scotland to Sola in Norway. During the First World War he served as a pilot/sq.commander in RFC/RAF. He was also the Ski ekspert at the R.F. Scott Antarctic expedition 1910-13..

I Just recently found that it was here in Parrsboro the "Atlantic" atempt came to an end - two weeks before Alcock and Brown made the first successfully Atlantic crossing.

....By the way, Tryggve Gran is my father... Best regards from Hermann Gran — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermann Gran (talk • contribs) 29 October 2022 (UTC)

"Atlantic" 1919
I have recently tried to add a few details to the "Atlantic" flight of 1919. Both attempts reverted. I just wonder why the two additional names, British Admiral Kerr and the Norwegian co-pilot/navigator Major Tryggve Gran are rejected from the "History sequens". I believe that their names would add up to make the "Atlantic" History more complete... Hermann Gran (talk) 12:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
