The Great Air Race - England to Melbourne 1934

Thanks again Bomberguy, as I mentioned before C.W.A. Scott was my Great Uncle, I have just finninshed reading a new publication entitled Mildenhall to Melbourne (the world's greatest air race) written by Stuart McKay, it is a well presented book and jam packed with details and technical info if your interested, it a good read, and now re- watching this video I understand alot more about what My Great Uncle and all the competitors atchieved, Great !

My grandfather flew in this race. G Shaw, features at 2.05 in this clip. If anyone has anymore information on him then please get in touch. Thanks.

I am in the midst of creating a boardgame of the race.

Outstanding footage, well done.

Hello Pooh x x x

Note that milions of Korean people were killed in this year. Japs are racists and militarists. They are nothing changed from WW2 era.

Er... I respect that you may have a valid comment and in no way do I refute it but what does this have to do with this video?

:} fantastic, thank you .

Wow C W A Scott is my Great uncle,, Ive seen a few photos of him before but never any live footage !! nice one for posting it, do you know if there is any more?

Hi Jimmy,

Your Great Uncle and my Father were in the same race! We have some (limited) pictures but if you don't have it already track down a copy of The Great Air Race by Arthur Swinson. It is too old for an ISBN but the SBN is 304 93151 9.
