COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, Great Britain / England, James Sadler (1751-1828), First English Aeronaut, the Record Speed Flight, White Metal Medal, 1812, by P Wyon, bust left, legend around, rev ornate balloon gondola with Sadler and passenger, flags at either end, ASCENDED FROM BIRMINGHAM …, 52mm, in contemporary velvet-lined turned wood fitted box (Mal 26; BHM 712). Extremely fine, the reverse especially choice. James Sadler made his first flight on the 4th October 1784, in a Montgolfier-type balloon with a 170-foot circumference, and made a number of flights during 1785, only to give up following a near disaster. However he was tempted back in 1812 and taking off from Vauxhall in Birmingham, with a Mr. Burcham as his passenger, flew for 112 miles in an hour and twenty minutes. The landing was rough and Sadler was thrown from the gondola leaving the unfortunate Mr. Burcham to throw out an anchor which caught in some trees. Burcham survived without harm though the balloon was destroyed. Sadler was the son of an Oxford pastry cook and before he took to ballooning found employment at the Ashmolean Museum. A plaque in Christ Church Meadow honours one of his first flights. Sadler’s son, Windham William, lost his life in a ballooning accident in 1824.
