London, To-day.

The surprise arrival at Croydon Aerodrome at 7 a.m. yesterday of the De Havilland Puss Moth nero. plane piloted by the 21-year-old airman, James Melrose, of Glen- dly, South Australia, marks the es- tablishment of new unofficial re« cord for an Australia to England flight.

Melrose left Port Darwin at 6.30 am. on September 20 and thus completed the journey in 8 days and 9 hours. The official record for this flight is held by. J. A. Mollison, who, in 1981, took 8 days and 22 hours.

Melrose has come to England primarily to compete in next! month's England to Melbour
