HUGE SEAPLANES ARRIVE

From Manila In Five Hours

Air Commodore Smith Describes Trip

Two of the three British flying beats from No. 203 Flying Squadron engaged on a "good will" flight to Japan arrived at Kal Tack yesterday afternoon, shortly after 1.30 pt, having made a straight course from Manila, which they left at 6.30 am. yes terday. Thus the trip was made in 5 hours, in conditions that described as "particularly favourable." A slight wind from the North East that shifted 'round to a more Easterly direction and thus became a tall wind, was in a large messure due to the sea planes arriving here earlier than their calculated time, explained Air Commodore Sydney W. Salth 0.B.E, to a "Daily Press" re- presentative yesterday afternoon."',

Both boats, averaged 90 knots (air speed) on the Journey up, approaching the harbour from Sulphur Channel, after which thay made perfect landings in the waters opposita Kal Tack

The two seaplanes that landed nere were Singapore 111. K. 3594, under Squadron-Leader K B. Lloyd, and Singapore 111. K. 3582 under Flight-Lt. C. 8. Riccard. Regarding K. 3593, it was explain ed that this ship unfortunately developed engine trouble when about an hour out from Kudak on the way to Manila. One engine falled but the flight was continued | to Manila on three engines and actually only 5 knots (air speed) was lost. This flying boat under the command of Wing-Comman der C. L Scott, D.SC., is remain- ing in Manila, and it is anticipated that she will make a direct hop to Amoy, where she will rejoin the

fying boats.

boats were noored in the river, 1 was especially dangerous to take off because it was quite likely there was a good deal of timber floating about from the Jungles nearby.
