Flight Cadet Douglas Bader on a solo cross-country from RAF College Cranwell in the summer of 1929. Cranwell's Flight Cadets flew the Avro 504N biplane with a top speed of about 100 mph and it was on one of these that Douglas Bader soloed for the first time on 12 February 1929. Railway lines were useful references on these and the RAF College Cranwell was only a few minutes in the air from the East Coast Main Line. Down this line came the crack expresses of the LNER, some drawn by the company's latest express locomotive, the A1 Class, which had a similar top speed to the Avro.
