Australian aviator
Charles James Melrose (13 September 1913 – 5 July 1936) was an Australian aviator who held a number of flying records, and was the youngest and only solo flier to finish the Melbourne (MacRobertson) Centenary Air Race in 1934.
History
Jimmy was a son of James Melrose of Wangaraleednie Station, Franklin Harbor, near Cowell, South Australia, a member of the wealthy pastoral family headed by George Melrose (1806–1894) of "Rosebank", Mount Pleasant. His mother, Hilda Westley Melrose, née Billing, was the second wife of James Melrose, who died a few months before Jimmy's 10th birthday. Jimmy was educated at St. Peter's College and took his first flying lessons at Parafield while still at school, gaining his pilot's licence at age 19.[1]
He flew a DH80A Puss Moth registered VH-UQO and christened "My Hildergarde" to England just after his 21st birthday to compete in the race, reaching Croydon in 8 days, 9 hours; a record.[2
