ONLY FOUR DAYS
ENGLAND TO' AUSTRALIA
LONDON, May o
“To Australia in four days’ ’ is the plan being worked out by Oa-ptain Neville Stack, who has taken part m many great long-distance dual flights. His idea is to beat existing records by such a margin that America’® threatened challenge to British airmen will be futile.
Captain Stack, who is at present completing his arrangements, will use a two’scater machine capable of covering 200 miles an hour, or about 2500 miles in a. day. His other plans includte a journey to India and back to England in the course of a week-end, and to the Cape in three days. After a series of brilliant flights in Europe, Captain 'Stack, with Mr Chaplin, started on a. flight to Australia, jujst- twelve months ago, Ihopinjg to break the record. They turned back and started again. The “try-out” flights had included 1 one to Warsaw and back in one day. They also flew from Lympne to Constantinople in the record time, of 12 hours 35 minutes. Previously they had flown to Berlin and- back in a day and to Copenhagen and back in a- day.
