NON-STOP DASH
ENGLAND TO INDIA NEW ZEALANDER TO PARTICIPATE LONDON, March 8. It is expected that a spectacular nonstop dash to India will begin in May. The first British pilot hopes to reach Karachi, 4000 miles away, in 48 hours. If possible he will carry on until his 1000 gallons of petrol is exhausted. The crew will probably consist of Flight-Licut. C. R. Carr, a New Zealander, and Flight-Lieutenant Gillman Carr, who has been flying since 1916 and served with distinction during the war. He participated as aviator in the Shackleton Antarctic expedition.
