60,000 MILES BY AIR
SIR PHILIP RICHARDSON’S RECORD.
A passenger who has flown approximately 60,000 miles in the last ten years is Lieut. Colonel Sir Philip Richardson, 73-year-old shipowner and shipbuilding magnate, who left Southampton by Imperial Airways the other day for India.
Sir Philip’s travels have taken him through Europe and Siberia, Central and South America, the West Indies, Canada and the United States, Australia and New Zealand, India, Burma, China, Japan and several of the South Pacific groups. And on all occasions when it is' possible to do so, Sir Philip flies, as he prefers this swift mode of travel to any other. Not so long ago he set out for Africa by air, intending to motor across the Sahara. But the car got into difficulties and Sir Philip was obliged to abandon this particular journey, taking train for Lagos, and sailing from there to England. After this, however, he started afresh by air for Kenya, later returning to England by Imperial flyingboat.
