FLIGHT IN SAND STORM.
LADY BAILEY IN EGYPT. (BAtish Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 2. The champion woman aviator, Lady Bailey, who is on a flight from London to Capetown in a Moth aeroplane, encountered a violent sandstorm when she was crossing into the Sudan. She landed safely at Wadi Haifa, in Upper Egypt, in spite of a fierce gale. From Khartoum southwards Lady Bailey will be escorted by Captain R. R. Bently, of the South African Flying Force, as the Sudan authorities consider it would be dangerous to allow her to fly alone over that region.
