Eleven student pilots from Wexford Aero Club back home with their Beagle Pup aircraft after a gruelling day's sponsored relay flight round Ireland, with six crew changes. It was a complicated navigation exercise to test crew skills with compass, chart and stopwatch and incorporated landing at 23 airfields and covering 1,350 miles. The students passed the test with flying colours and, helped by Irish Shell providing free fuel and most military and civil airfields waiving landing charges, they were able to present £1,000 to Rosslare Harbour branch..
