London, April 3.
In an aeroplane-gülder Lord Sempill, famous air peer, flew from Croydon to Berlin yesterday for a cost of about 25s. His machine used only one gallon of petrol for every forty-five miles of the journey, writes a correspondent.
After the eleven hour journey Lord Sempill came to the telephone at the Templehot Aerodrome and said to me:-..
"It will only be a short time be-
fore people will be flying across the Channel in a light machine costing only a few shillings to run. It is certainly better than going by ship and train."..
and
Lord Sempill's non-stop fight in the tiny machine, with its seven
a half horse power motor cycle engine, constitutes a world's record in the "baby" claza'aero-
