HC Deb 02 April 1930 vol 237 c1270
39. Mr. MANDER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if any further attempts on the world speed record are to be made with the Super-marine S 6 or Gloster-Napier seaplanes; and, if not, for what purpose it is intended to use these aircraft?

Mr. MONTAGUE

The answer to the first part of the question is that no further attempts on the world speed record are at present contemplated, and to the second, that the high speech aircraft are being used for research purposes.
