HELPED BY SHEER FLUKE”
Lowestoft
Cramped and exhausted. Mr. Philip Aubrey Mills, of Chapel- street, E C., a shipper and a men ber of the London Gliding Club. climbed out of the cockpit of a small cream-coloured glider on Pakefield cliffs on the Suffolk coast at about 4.30 one afternoon! last month and discovered that be had set up a new British gliding record by flying 130 miles from Dunstable.
His machine, designed by his gliding partner. Flt-Lt G X. Buxton, and built in Yorkshire, was the first high performance slider to be designed
and con structed in England. It cast £200.
Weather conditions
were bad when Mr. Mills set out at noon, and he intended to make only a short flight before lunch. Con- ditions improved when he got over Whipsnade and he rose to 3,600 feet and made a long glide northward.

Paris. The French Aero Club announced officially last month that Maryse Elsz, France's Amelia Earhart," broke both the French men's and the wo- men's world altitude records the previous day when she ascended 14:310 metres (46,947 feet).
The former women's record was held by Nella Negrone of Italy, who climbed $9.510 feet in 1935.
Over Duxford he was forced FLYING FARMER
down 800 feet and he could see nowhere to land. "By a sbeer fluke," he said, "I found an up- ward current of air and was able to get altitude once more. In- deed I circled to get altitude 15 times during the trip. In fact I circled till I was sick.
