CAIRO TO SYDNEY
NEXT AIR FORCE FLIGHT PROJECT IN AUTUMN (Reed. July 9, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON. July 8. The News-Chronicle says the air force members’ 4300-mile llight from Cranwell to Ismalia has paved the way for a non-stop flight from Cairo to Sydney, which it is understood is to be attempted in the autumn. Although 4300 miles is a new record for a bomber formation, it is known that Vickers Wellesleys are capable of flying considerably further without refuelling.
