SPEED AND SECURITY
FLYING BOATS’ CRUISE EFFICIENT ORGANISATION British Wireless—Press Assn.—Copyright Reed. 12.30 p.m. RUGBY, Sunday. An official account of the Far East flight of the Royal Air Force, which is now nearing Singapore on its way to Australia, was issued yesterday. It shows how, with good advance organisation, a flight of four flying-boats can be flown over immense distances and under varying conditions, across sea and over land, with speed and security. The flight is equipped with supermarine Southampton metal-hulled fly-ing-boats, each with two Napier-Lion engines, and is under the command of Group-Captain H. M. Cave-Brown-Cave. When it has completed the whole cruise of 28,000 miles it will have carried out a service exercise never yet attempted by any other nation. —A. and N.Z.
