British bid for the Worlds non-stop flight record 1927

The Hawker Horsley (named after Sir Thomas Sopwiths home of Horsley Towers), was a British single-engined biplane bomber of the 1920s. It was the last all wooden aircraft built by Hawker Aircraft, and served as a medium day bomber and torpedo bomber with Britains Royal Air Force between 1926 and 1935. Pictured here, the Hawker Horsley attempting a non-stop flight to India, 4000 miles. Specially modified aircraft, carrying much more fuel, took off from RAF Cranwell on 20 May 1927, flown by Flight Lieutenants Roderick Carr and L.E.M Gillmann. Date: 1927
