Born in Grimsby, he moved to Bodfari, Denbighshire, Wales, his mother's family home, on the death of his father during his childhood.[1] On 26 April 1912, Hewitt successfully completed a flight between Holyhead and Dublin, landing in the Phoenix Park. Interviewed by the press, he expressed the view that Damer Leslie Allen, who had disappeared a few days earlier whilst attempting the same flight, had been insufficiently experienced as an aviator for a task of such difficulty.[2] Although widely reported to be the first person to cross the sea from Great Britain to Ireland in an aeroplane, several days earlier,[1] on 22 April Denys Corbett Wilson had flown from Goodwick in Pembrokeshire to Enniscorthy.[4][5] Nevertheless, the view was expressed at the time that Hewitt's flight was "a more difficult and dangerous feat" than Corbett Wilson's.[6] Hewitt was also a keen ornithologist and set up a bird sanctuary at his home of Bryn Aber at Cemlyn Bay, Anglesey, which is now managed by The North Wales Wildlife Trust.[7] He was known as the "world’s greatest private Great Auk collector", as he built up a collection of the skins and eggs of these extinct birds.[8] His specimens are now in museums in Cardiff, Birmingham, Los Angeles, and Cincinnati.[9] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=Lewis|first=Alys|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/northeastwales/hi/people_and_places/history/newsid_8558000/8558419.stm|title=BBC: Captain Vivian Hewitt – the aviation pioneer |accessdate=2011-06-19|work=BBC News|date=10 March 2010}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hewitt, Vivian}}{{Aviation-bio-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite news| title = Aviation: Flight from Holyhead to Dublin – Mr Hewitt descends in the Phoenix Park| author = | first = | last = | authorlink = | authorlink2 = | author2 = | author3 = | author4 = | author5 = | author6 = | author7 = | url = | format = | agency = | newspaper = Irish Times| publisher = | location = Dublin| isbn = | issn = | oclc = | pmid = | pmd = | bibcode = | doi = | id = | date = 27 April 1912| page = 7| pages = | at = | accessdate = 19 June 2011|trans-title=| quote = | archiveurl = | archivedate = | ref = }} 3. ^Flight Magazine 5 October 1912 4. ^{{cite journal | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | date = 27 April 1912 | title = Flying the Irish Channel | journal = Flight Magazine | volume = IV | issue = 17 | pages = 379 | publisher = Reed Business Information | location = London | url = http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1912/1912%20-%200379.html | accessdate = 2011-06-18 | language = | format = PDF}} 5. ^{{cite news| title = Irish Aviator's Feat: St. George's Channel Crossed| author = | first = | last = | authorlink = | authorlink2 = | author2 = | author3 = | author4 = | author5 = | author6 = | author7 = | url = | format = | agency = | newspaper = Irish Times| publisher = | location = Dublin| isbn = | issn = | oclc = | pmid = | pmd = | bibcode = | doi = | id = | date = 27 April 1912| page = 23| pages = | at = | accessdate = 19 June 2011|trans-title=| quote = | archiveurl = | archivedate = | ref = }} 6. ^{{cite news| title = Editorial| author = | first = | last = | authorlink = | authorlink2 = | author2 = | author3 = | author4 = | author5 = | author6 = | author7 = | url = | format = | agency = | newspaper = (Weekly) Irish Times| publisher = | location = Dublin| isbn = | issn = | oclc = | pmid = | pmd = | bibcode = | doi = | id = | date = 4 May 1912| page = 10| pages = | at = | accessdate = 19 June 2011|trans-title=| quote = | archiveurl = | archivedate = | ref = }} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.dailypost.co.uk/business/business-news/anglesey-home-famous-airman-put-13074857|title=Anglesey home of famous airman put up for auction|last=Wyn-Williams|first=Gareth|date=2017-05-22|work=northwales|access-date=2018-05-20}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/captain-vivian-hewitt-lincolnshire-born-aviation-pioneer|title=Captain Vivian Hewitt ~ Lincolnshire Born Aviation Pioneer » Rod Collins|website=www.rodcollins.com|access-date=2018-05-20}} 9. ^{{Cite journal|last=Thomas|first=Jessica E.|last2=Carvalho|first2=Gary R.|last3=Haile|first3=James|last4=Martin|first4=Michael D.|last5=Castruita|first5=Jose A.
