Flight, November 27th, HIES 01 ne tin smiito iiiie... At an average air speed of 270 m.p.h. and a height of 20,000-25,000 feet, B.S.A.A.'s pressurised " Star Lion" covered 15,500 miles over its Lisbon-Dakar-Natal-Rio de Janeiro-Montevideo-Buenos Aires-Santiago-Sao Paulo route and back, with Air Vice-Marshal D. C. T. Bennett in command. On the balance of silence, comfort, payload, cost of operation, and speed it proved itself definitely ahead of any competitor in the world —a great triumph for B.S.A.A. and British Aviation.
