Excalibur III arrival Heathrow 1951

Pathe film of the arrival…Blair in Excalibur III knocked more than an hour off the existing NY-London record….the following June he flew from Norway to Alaska over the Pole in the Mustang, then from Alaska to New York. The preserved ExcaliburIII is in the NASM in Washington D.C.
