LONG AMBULANCE FLIGHT
RUGBY, January 18. Flying to Moscow through snowstorms to bring back a sick man, the Mediterranean group of the R.A.F. Transport Command made a record flight of 5000 miles to evacuate a patient. It was the first wholly R.A.F.manned aircraft to fly to Stalingrad and Moscow, states an agency correspondent in Cairo. The sick man was R.S.M. Stanley Buhner, who was serving in Moscow as confidential clerk to the head of the British Military Mission to Russia. He was taken ill in Moscow, and British and Soviet medical men agreed that his removal to a warmer climate was essential.— B.O.W.
