Aviation Feature – MacRobertson Air Race 80th Anniversary

by Huw Hopkins
In 1934 the Royal Aero Club hosted one of the greatest air races of all time – the MacRobertson Air Race – measuring 11,000 miles from Mildenhall, England, to Melbourne, Australia, in which an eclectic array of international competitors and aircraft competed, ultimately seeing a British victory. Huw Hopkins marks the 80th anniversary of the race.
