The following is an extract from the current number of the K.L.M. News:

She completed the 2,500 miles flight to Alexandria in 13h. 35min., at an average speed of 170 m.p.h.

The Caledonia is specially equip- ped for experimental Atlantic and long-distance flights.

The distance from Southampton to Alexandria is 800 miles greater than that between the point in Western Ireland proposed for de- parture on Atlantic mall service flights and Newfoundland.

It is expected that within the next few days the giant flying boat will make a non-stop return flight to Southampton.

Flying To Schedule

Imperial Airways, in a report on the flight, stated that the start was made at 4.15 a.m. from the fir base at Hythe, on Southampton Water.

At 5,50 in the afternoon the Caledonia alighted on Alexandría Harbour to the cheers of onlookers, who had learned some minutes be- fore of the dramatic fight.

Only a small group of Imperial Airways representatives saw the take-off at Hythe two hours be- fore dawn.

All through the day the craft kept in touch by wireless with short-wave stations in London and with the Cassiopeia, another Em- pire Aying boat in Alexandria Har- bour.

Just before 8.30 a.m. the Cale- donia wirelessed that Marseilles lay behind, and that a speed of over 180 m.p.h. was being main- tained.

Later reports, stated that the machine was keeping well on schedule.

Mr. Solesin, of the Avioline in Milan said:

Those, who can buy this plane are lucky people. They will have almost no expense when operat- lag their services by the new Douglas and in my opinion the DC3 guarantees a 100% of safety and economy. When you add to this the comfort and the remark- able noiselessness of this plane. one can conclude that it is se- cond to none of its kind.

ATLANTIC FLIGHTS IN MAY

(BY MAJOR C. C. TURNER), "Daily Telegraph" Air Correspon-

The flight by the Caledonia was not a test of the flying boat's range, which is indeed far greater. It was one of a series, during which navigational and wireless tests have been made.

It is intended to make several more fights before attempting to cross the North Atlantic in one hop. Atlantic experiments will not begin before May, and it is possible that the first will be a

The increase, from 100 to 15,000 in five years of the number of Diésel engined road vehicles in Great Britain was discussed by Mr. H. Richard in a paper read. to a joint meeting in Manchester of the Institution of Petroleum Technologists (Northern Branch) and the Institute, of Fuel (North- western Section), "It is barely five years," he said, "since" the English manufacturers started to produce a Diesel engine accept- able for English conditions; a really", light high-speed engine with a specific performance com- parable with that of a petrol en- gine: and we have all.
