TOUR BY AIR
ENGLISH WOMAN’S JOURNEY. (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 18. An English woman’s tour by air, during which friends in many parts of Africa, including the Cape, were visited, was con eluded by the return of Mrs Westenra. She was piloted by Captain MacKintosh and used an ordinary Puss Moth machine with a Gipsy 111 engine. Despite the long tour and 90 landings and take-offs, not a single replacement and no repairs have been necessary, and the machine, was using the same plugs that were fitted at the beginning of the journey.
