14 FLIGHT II JULY 1952 Desoutter private Marathon* Although debarred from competing under the International Shamateur Ruling, I have decided to take a team of my Little Horses to the Olympic Games. We shall all run non-stop from Le Havre to Helsinki and carry on continuously round the outside of the Stadium during the whole period of the Games. We shall thus prove once again that when it comes to power, speed, quickness off the mark and coolness in the heat of the moment, Man has nothing on my Little Horses except his shirt. We sail for Finland with quiet confidence and an abundance of sporting spirit which I have seen fit to lock up in my cabin. "jAf Letters explaining that this is not a Marathon or telling us what a Marathon is will remain unanswered and indeed unopened. POWER TOOLS INCREASE PRODUCTION DESOUTTER BROS. LTD., THE HYDE, HENDON, LONDON, N.W.9. TELEPHONE : COLINDALE 6346 (5 LINES). TELEGRAMS : DESPNUCO, HYDE, LONDON CRC233
