CAPTAIN HINKLER’S FEAT
ENGLAND TO INDIA IN 7 DAYS HEW POSSIBILITIES OPENED UP (British Official News.) Press Association —By Wireless —Copyright. RUGBY, February 14. (Received February 15, at 11.30 a.m.) Captain Hinkler arrived to-day at Karachi, India, on his flight to Australia in an “ Avian ” light aeroplane. To hove flown from England to India in seven days undoubtedly ranks as one of the finest feats of aviation yet per-., ormed. The flight opens up entirely new possibilities, as most of the big transcontinental flights have been accomplished by special high-powered machines. Cap-j tain Hinkler’s machine is exactly the same as the machine used by many private owners and flying clubs. The journey to India by air in such a machine proves to be the cheapest way of getting there, for the running costs of the machine, including petrol, oil, and housing, are stated not to have exceeded £2O. Captain Hinkler hopes to reach Australia in eighteen days.
