FAMOUS AIRMAN

PLANS 9 RECORD BREAKING HOPS. LIEUTENANT Owen Cathcart Jones

wanted £30,000 to finance building the world's fastest commercial acro- plane. He told about it in an advertise- ment on August 1.

Now, as a direct result of the publication of the famous air- man's scheme £15,000 has been promised by an Englishman who stares Lieutenant Catheart Jones' enthusiasm of putting Britain right on top of the aviation world.

The offer is conditional on another

of the amount..

It was Mr. J. A. Whitehead, Inte of the Whitehend Aircraft Com- pany, who saw the interview with Lieutenant Cathcart Jones, and forthwith asked the airman for further detalls, with the result that the offer was made within a month.

1,500 Miles Non-Stop

"Now, is the chance for some other patriotic Englishman to come along with the other £15,000, so that we can begin building the *plane.

"Time is a great factor. Our aviation to-day is suffering by pro- crastination. If I had the money to-morrow, I would be ready by May 1936.

"I am aiming at a 1,500 miles non-stop 'plane with a crew of two and ten passengers with a cruiusing speed of 250 miles per

hour."

The scheme is to make nine special record long-distance flights, showing a profitable return.'

"want to emphasise the com. mercial aspect of this," Lleutenant Catheart Jones said. "The ma- chine is to be a commercial acro- plane and will be used on Empire air routes afterwards.

"I am not asking for money for a stunt. Of the £30,000 required, two-thirds is, for the aeroplane and equipment, and one-third to finance the nine special flights.

Cathcart Jness is keping the routes of his nine flights secret for the present. But it is almost certain that he will undertake the three flights planned by C. W. A. Scott-to Captown, Canada and Hong-

icong.

Lieutenant Cathcart Jones, with Mr. Ken Waller, made the record- breaking flight to Australia and back.

The form, says Austral News, is printed in four colours with an

Two Brides-Instead Of One Record Flight

SAID two young "unmarrieds" of the Royal Air Force six months ago, "Let us, when our commissions end in July, buy an airplane and fly it to our native land of Australia faster than any other man has done."

They are expecting an unusual "happy event" in the reptile house at, the London Zoo.

Said two young bridegrooms recently in reply to that old, old question. "Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife?"

"I will."

"No names, no pack drill" is the saying in the Army, but this little story concerna the Royal Air Force. Anyway, those two bride- grooms are quite happy and un- repentant about the record that they have not attempted to break.

Flying Officer R. S. Littlejohn, of Sydney, first of the two to break one vow and take another, is dying home shortly in a Klemm mono- plane with his bride. "We ex- pect to take about twelve days to Sydney," he said. And the record flight to Australla is just under three days.]

Flying Officer Donald Bennet, of Brisbane, is equally happy at the thought of taking his bride home In-the-stateroom-of-a-liner.

And his journey will take five weeks.
