ON September 6, Mr. Cyril F. Uwins, in a Vickers Vespa biplane fitted with a Bristol Pegasus engine, starting from Filton Aerodrome, Bristol, reached a height of 13,404 metres (43,976224 ft.), landing at Evesham, some 50 miles away, after a flight of a little over 2 hours. This is being submitted to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale as a new world's altitude record, the old record of 13,157 metres (43,181 ft.) having been set up by Lieut. Apollo Soucek, of the United States Navy, at Washington in a Wright Apache biplane with a 450-h.p. Pratt and Whitney engine on June 4, 1930.
