TOO OLD FOR SPEED
CAPT. CAMPBELL TO MAKE LAST ATTEMPT
{Australian and N.Z. Press Association . (United Service) LONDON, Saturday.
The “Daily Mail” says that Captain Malcolm Campbell has selected Vernak Pan, 450 miles from Capetown, for his attempt to establish a world motor speed record. It contains a large area of sun-baked clay, which give:* a clear run of 20 miles.
Captain Campbell says: “If I am successful it will be my last attempt. I am getting too old for such adventures. If I fail I shall probably continue until I regain the record.”
