Extract

Monday July 28TH, 1930.—At Cardington—having spent Sunday morning on the ship after the last trial flight. A few eyelets damaged on that flight—nothing serious. One petrol tank leaking at the centre joint, to be changed on Monday. With so many tanks it would be odd if one was not leaking.

To the ship early this morning by taxi; worried about the sealing strip repair which carried away on Saturday. Saw Both and Meager about this on board.Prospects good for start at dawn on Tuesday. Back to the Bridge Hotel, and on to station, buying rubber shoes and overall on the way. To London on 10.23,first to the Club and then to London Office. No confirmation of flight. At about 7.30 two calls, Bamber and Burney—flight confirmed for start 3.30 Tuesday.
