Stanley Edward Spencer (1868–1906) was an early English aeronaut, famous for ballooning and parachuting in several countries, and later for building and flying an airship over London in 1902. Stanley's family had a history of flying: all his five siblings were also aeronauts, with Arthur and Percival the more well-known; his father Charles Green Spencer pioneered gliding and founded the balloon factory C.G. Spencer & Sons in London; and his grandfather had flown balloons with Charles Green since 1836. On 15 September 1898, Stanley piloted a hydrogen balloon for the meteorologist Arthur Berson in what was believed to be a record ascent to 27,500 feet. On 15 November 1899, Spencer ascended with John Mackenzie Bacon and Gertrude Bacon to observe the Leonid meteor shower from above the clouds

  • Stanley Spencer (* 1868; † 27. Januar 1906 auf Malta) war der erste englische Luftschiffer, der einen gelenkten Flug mit einem Wasserstoffballon über Großbritannien durchführte. Er stammte aus einer Familie von Flugkonstrukteuren, betrieb mit seinem Bruder zusammen die Firma Spencer Bros. und erreichte mit seinen Testflügen über London in den Jahren 1902/03 eine solche Popularität, dass sein Name in England zum Synonym für die Zukunft der Luftfahrt wurde.
