On the following day the machine returned to London, carrying as passengers Sir Frederick Sykes and M. Laurent Eynac, French Under-Secretary of State for Air. Piloted by Capt. Cockerell, the " Viking " arrived over Westminster just before the scheduled time of 12.30, and, swinging over the end of Lambeth Bridge, an excellent alighting was made, showing that it is possible to put the machine down in a very small space indeed. "After lowering the land wheels the machine was taxied up on the Hard at Doulton's, where the party were met by representatives of the Air Ministry, and others interested in or connected with aviation. Among those present we noticed General Festing, Col. Beatty of the Air Ministry, and Sir Ross Smith, who admitted that a machine like the " Viking " would have saved him a lot of trouble on his flight to Australia. Afterwards the " Viking" was flown down to Croydon, where she (or should one say he in the case of a Viking ?) is stationed. M. Eynac expressed himself very pleased with the facility with which the trip was made. 333
