1938 Egypt-Australia Record Non-Stop Flight by Royal Air Force group of 52 messages passed between the crew members of Machine 80 and to/from Machines 38 & 39 mostly on 'Message Slip R.A.F. Form 228' cards or pre-typed message forms giving weather conditions, positions including in reference to Karachi & Singapore, etc, noted "Are we trying to dodge the storm?", "The sandwiches were bloody awful", and "38 passed north point of island 3 mins ago ... Which island tell them to be more lucid", also a few Air Mail etiquettes mostly British labels, condition a little variable but most are fine to very fine. Fascinating insight into on-board communications prior to radio.
