ATTACKS ON
AIR RECORD
"Previous Best" Beaten
London, Nov. 20. While Flying Officer Clouston and Mrs. Betty Kirby Green were speeding on the last stages of their Cape to England flight, an attempt to lower their Croydon- Cape record, just set up, was start- ed to-day.
The two British fliers, who broke Amy Johnson's record only a few days ago. may see their record mark eclipsed by this fresh record- beating effort.
The attempt is being made by Prince Cantacouzenle, who hopped of from Croydon at 12.36 this, morning (G.M.T.) for Paris.
He arrived safely at Le Bourget and at 2.31 this morning, after re- fuelling his plane, took of again on his long fight to the Cape.
He hopes to reach Capetown in two hops.
GOOD PROSPECTS
Prince Cantacouzenle flew over Algiers
7.25 this at
morning (G.M.T.).
Meanwhile, Flylag-Officer Clous- -ton-and-Mrs. Kirby Green have good prospects of reaching London this afternoon in time for tea.
They arrived at Marseilles at 11.20 and left before midday for Croydon, which they expect to reach at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Meanwhile. two famous French airmen hopped off to-day from Paris to Buenos Aires.-Reuter,
GREAT THRILL
Flying Officer Clouston, and Mrs. Betty Kirby Green landed at Croy- den at 3.22 this afternoon.
Huge crowds awaiting them had a great thrill when the plane four times circled the aerodrome at great speed, came within a few feet of the ground, again shot up into the clouds, and Anally made a perfect landing amidst terrific cheers.
Both Alers were so tired they had to be lifted from the plane--
Time of the flight from Cape- town was 57 hours 22 minutes, and actual flying time 42 hours 9 min- utes. They broke H. L. Brooke's" homeward record. by over 381 hours.
The round trip took 77 hours 48 minutes flying time, and total time 5 days 17 hours 27 minutes. com- pared with Amy Johnson's previous record of 7 days 22 hours 12 min utes.- Reuter.
