Broadbent Speeding To Record

Airman Pauses At Singapore Only

To Get Fuel

Singapore, Apr. 18. Australia's unluckiest and pluckiest airnn, Harry "Try Again" Broad- bent, is winging swiftly on his way to the south, flying above the Nether- lands East Indies islands where, a month ago, he crashed with the Eng- land-Australia record with his grasp. Ile reached Singapore this evening, and staying only long enough to re- fuel his machine, left a few minutes afterwards for Port Darwin.

Broadbent is attempting to create a new record for the England-Aus- tralia-New Zealand Night, the present record being held by Clouston and

who covered Ricketts,

the course early this month.

Some beet and chicken essence, without which he never travels, is his only food on the last dangerous hop between Singapore and Port Darwin, Broadbent earned the nickname "Try Again" because of the many courageous attempts he has made for various long distance records in the face of enormous obstacles.

He has already made four attempts on the England-Australia and Aus- tralia-England records. His first, in 1931, ended in fallure when he was

forced down and imprisoned in Turkey. He tried again In October, 1835, but made a forced landing at Busra when the record was within his grasp.

Going on to England he was more fortunate on the return Journey to Australia, beating Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's record by 72 hours. His third attempt on the Australia-England

record

was suc- cessful, and he set a record that was not broken until Miss Jenn Batten, the New Zealand aviatrix, made her

Flounding solo flight last year.

Broadbent had the record again in his grasp last month when he crashed on on island in the Timor group.- Router.
