CANADA WELCOMES TRANSATLANTIC FLYING BOAT AND CREW.—After completing its his-tory-making flight across the north Atlantic from Foynes, Ireland, to Botwood, Newfoundland, without incident the British Imperial Airways’ flying boat Caledonia resumed its flight to cover the 900odd miles to Montreal and landed in the St. Lawrence River just below the Canadian metropolis. The Caledonia proceeded later to New York. The huge 40-ton machine is pictured, top resting on the St Lawrence after the landing while its commander, Captain A. S. Wilcockson, is shown satisfying the demands of autograph seekers as a triumphal drive to Montreal’s civic reception began.
