The 2,000-mile crossing of the Atlantic to Port Natal was covered in 171⁄2 hours.

Mollison's magnificent performance is all the more notable in that it was accomplished in his small Puss-Moth monoplane, the “Heart's Content.” The airman has pot yet decided the manner of his return but it is rumoured that his equally famous wife, Misa Amy Johnson, may accompany him in the new venture.
