XOVEMBER 23, 1933 ADVER TISEMENTS. FLIGHT 5IDDELEY AIRCOOLED AERO ENGINES THE 140 H.P. SEVEN CYL. GENET MAJOR THE LOG OF THE ASTRAEA ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY MOTORS LTD COVENTRY ENGLAN Extracts from an article in "Flight" of a journey from Australia to England with Imperial Airways by Hudson Fysh. "Travel on the Astraea is not only a time-saver, but a delight. 391 miles in 3 hours 25 minutes. . . . It had been a satisfactory day, 914 miles being covered in 7 hours 35 minutes, assisted by a quarter following wind. The flight is calm and comfortable and the cabin is delightfully cosy and roomy. This excellent machine, with its four reliable engines, gives a feeling of complete confidence—knowing that if one engine fails the machine can climb and maintain good speed and if two engines go the flight could be continued with only an almost imperceptible loss of height. ..." Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Limited Coventry, England BP357 Save time by using the Air Mail. ix
