On a hill two kilometres south of the town of Clifden, Ireland, stands a memorial in the form of an aircraft's wing commemorating the first non-stop transatlantic flight. It stands around two kilometres north of the landing site. The landing site is in the bog in the photo's background.

The inscription on the memorial reads:

This memorial honours the achievement of John Alcock and Arthur Whitten-Brown the first men to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean

The aircraft was a Vickers Vimy biplane powered by two Rolls- Royce Eagle VIII engines of three hundred and fifty horse power each and the average speed during the flight was one hundred and fifteen miles per hour.
