The first historically recorded flight of a pig took place on at Leysdown in Kent, England, on November 4th, 1909, when British aviator Claude Moore-Brabazon fixed a wicker basket to a wing strut of his Voisin biplane and strapped a pig inside. The basket had a hand written sign “I am the first pig to fly”. The aviator took the pig for a flight of about 3.7 miles from Shellbeach to the Short Brothers airfield at Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey.
