Scott, won the Melbourne Centenary air race, is visiting Ireland to select an aerodrome from which to start on a flight to Canada and back. This is one of four long-distance flights which he plans to make in the near future in his new improved Comet monoplane Boomerang. Two special Gipsy six 223-horse power motors are now being prepared. The machine should have a range of nearly 3000 miles in still air on one fuel load. The return journey across the North Atlantic Ocean may be accomplished in little more than 24 hours.
