Squadron Leader D. S. Don - Kings Cup Air Race
Hanworth Aerodrome, Kings Cup Air Race. Hawker Tomtit G-aLL, powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Mongoose IIIA, belonging to the then Prince of Wales (Edward VIII), flown by Squadron Leader D.S. Don MVO CO. (climbing onboard) - G-aLL, which finished eighteenth at an average speed of 123.42 mph. Note that the performance of the Tomtits in the 1930 Kings Cup was quite credible due to handicappers over-estimating the performance of the Tomtit. Date: 5 July 1930.
