Solent Air Race
Venue Selected For Schneider Cup BRITAIN PREPARES (Australian and X.Z. Press Association) (United Service) Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. After an inspection of several alternative venues, the Aero Club has decided to hold the 1929 Schneider Cup race at the Solent. The opinion held is that, it alone combines a stretch of smooth water, suitable for 300-mile-an-hour machines to -alight upon, with the necessary shed and slipway accommodation. It is expected that Britain, France, Italy, Amei-ica and Germany will compete. Special racing seaplanes, estimated to attain 300 miles an hour, are being constructed in Britain in order to defend the trophy.
