A NEW BRITISH BRITAIN AND CHINA A DEPLORABLE
MONOPLANE
FOR LONG-DISTANCE
TO FLY FROM CAPETOWN TO NORTH OF SCOTLAND
NON-STOP FLIGHT
London, Yesterday, “ Experts in aviation to-day viewed at Cranwell aerodrome an aero- plane which has been designed to boat long distance feats of any air- craft yet built whether heavier or air. It is the new lighter than Fairey monoplane built for the Air Ministry.
This machine will probably be taken out to Capetown very shortly. At Capetown it will fill up with a full load of fuel and will attempt a non-stop flight to the north of Scotland. Even if the plane only roaches the south coast of England it will have easily beaten the world's long distance record, at pre- sent held by Italy with a fight
from Rome to South America.
It is the first monoplane ever built by the Fairey Company and bears a strong resemblance to the Fairey 3F biplanes, high speed bombers, over 100 of which are now in use by the Royal Air Force.
The engine is a special Napier developed from the Napier-Lion as used in the Schneider tropthy rac- ing machines.
The object aimed at is to bring every part of the world within 120 hours of England.
It is anticipaated that this new monoplane could, under favourable conditions, transport an important person or document to any part of the globe in three stages in five days.-British Wireless Service.
