No, it was not the last, but it was the most famous. A pilot by the name of Peer Perch crossed the North Sea from Tistrup to a farm near Edinburgh in October 1943 in a Gibsy Moth. To his disappointment he was neither accepted in the ATA or RAF, nor in the British Army.

This is a photo of Sneum (right) and Perch in the Danish Club in London in 1943.
