Who Flew 7 Years Before The Wright Brothers?

The world's first successful flight took place on Saundersfoot beach in Pembrokeshire 7 years before the Wright Brothers.

It was all the work of William Frost, a carpenter, who designed, patented, made and flew the Frost Airship Glider.

Then disaster struck.
