  • The flight took place between 6-8 February 1933.

    The aircraft is a Fairey long-range monoplane, with a Napier Lion engine, Serial No. K1991.

    "Lost distance record" should read Long distance record.

    "Squadron Leader G R Gayford" should read O R Gayford, (his first name being Oswald).

    "S E Nicholettes" in the body text should read Nicholetts.

    SEE CLIP 697.12 FOR PREVIOUS FOOTAGE OF GAYFORD AND THIS AIRCRAFT.
