1 MAY 1920 BRITISH AEROPLANES IN PEKING Captain Mackenzie, accompanied by Mr. K.Y. Wei, made a successful flight from Peking to Tientsin yesterday, making the journey on both occasions in the good time of forty-five minutes. The pilot landed first outside the race-course, but took off and grounded beautifully in the race-course, to the evident enjoyment of many spectators. The return journey was commenced at 6.30p.m., but before leaving the city, the Avro was made to perform a graceful nose dive. Peking was reached in safety just after seven o’clock. (Reuter) 7 MAY 1920 A Handley-Page aeroplane, coming from Peking, landed on the race-course this morning. The machine was carrying fourteen passengers: Mr. Beilby Alston, Mr. A.

Tonkin, Mr. Henning, Mr. Ridge and three Chinese. Captain Mackenzie was the pilot. The British Minister was received by the Chairman of the Race Club. (Reuter Tientsin) The Handley Page aeroplane which accomplished the first aerial mail flight in China by flying from Peking to Tientsin this morning, returned to Peking this afternoon.
