I was up early the next morning and after breakfast, my mother, my father and I went into the town to do some shopping. We returned at 9 o'clock as we had to be aboard the flying-boat by half-past. At 9.45 we were in the air again and on the second stage of our journey, to Port Augustus, in Italy. We flew over Alexandria then out over the Mediterranean, and at 4.15 we came to rest in the harbour. After spending the night there we left at 7 a.m. for Marseilles, in the south of France. We arrived there at 11 and, after refuelling and minor repairs, took off again and were on our way to Poole, near Southampton, where we arrived at half past five. After having sandwiches and tea we went to the station and travelled to London. We spent the night in London and travelled home the next day. J.McK., IIB. SCHOOL HEAD
