 One character has to return to London from Paris by aeroplane. This  aeroplane, a Handley Page H.P. 42, the first 4 engine airliner, and  which was once the worlds largest, a huge silver biplane, is shown  landing at some length at Croyden Airfield, with a landing speed of  something like 20 mph, virtually stopping on a six pence once the  wheels touch the ground. It was said that this plane, which flew  throughout the 30s, never had a fatality. I didnt note the markings  at the time but it would be easy to identify the individual aircraft  from the large registration numbers painted on the side of the  aircraft.
