Bob:
To touch up the English grammar a bit.....
"21-10-34 =97 Yesterday, at Mildenhall Aerodrome, (Suffolk) the
beginning
of the England to Australia air race took place.
The picture shows the departure of the "Cyclone", piloted by
Parmentier and G. Moll.
They are currently in second place."
(Looks like second to me.)
