Puck. I'll put a girdle round about the earth in forty minutes. Oberon -

In 1928, Bert Hinkler left England for Australia, following the same route that the Smiths had flown in 1919. After just 15 days he landed in Darwin, a little more than half the time of the Smiths' flight. An instant national hero, Hinkler received a special £2,000 prize from the Australian Government.
