SEPTEMBER 11TH. IQ47 AIR FREIGHTING FEATS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE "BRISTOL" F R E T G H T E R — N o 2 ATTLEY. Australia's champion9 airborne! Making possible a tuned-to-the-minute preparation for the £10,000 Doomben Stakes run at Brisbane, Attley, Australia's champion sprinter, was flown from Melbourne to Brisbane in the " Merchant Venturer," a " Bristol" Freighter aircraft which recently toured Australia. Reports tell how Attley walked up the loading ramp into the Freighter's hold as calmly as if he were being led into his stable. In the padded horse-box, fitted' in the forward hold compartment, he quickly settled down to feed soon after the plane had taken off and on landing at Brisbane his trainer declared that throughout the seven hour journey he remained as calm as if he had travelled by horse float. This further example of cargo-carrying versatility emphasises the fact that the " Bristol" Freighter, built specifically for high-load cargo-carrying, offers greater potentialities to cargo charter operators than any other aircraft. Attley, airborne, leaves Melbourne for- Brisbane . . . and the Doomben Stakes.
