408.8 MILES AN HOUR!

STAINFORTH SMASHES OWN RECORD.

A WONDER-ENGINE.

London, Sept. 29.

A FRESH world's flying speed record is believed

to have been made by Flight Lieutenant Stain- forth this evening, flying the Vickers Supermarine Rolls-Royce S-6 B seaplane, fitted with a special “sprint" engine.

He completed five trips over the course of threeTM kilometres, backwards and forwards, and it is con- fidently believed by officials that the record of 379 miles- an hour has been broken by a considerable margin,

Unofficial timing has given an amazing speed, but the official times are not yet avaiable, pending the deve- lopment of the timing-films. Some hours must elapse before the results of the attempt on the record are revealed.

Later.

It is officially stated that Lieut. Staioforth's average spoed over four runs was 408.8 miles an hour, beating his own record by nearly 38 mph. The designers gave his engine exactly one hour of life and it was therefore impossible to make trini runs--- Reuter.
