Tina, the famed chimpanzee star of television commercials for tea, is taking part
Tina, the famed chimpanzee star of television commercials for tea, is taking part in the Great Transatlantic London to New York two way air race. Tina, who appears to have done everything except fly, will cross the Atlantic in a special travelling case stowed aboard a scheduled BOAC airliner. Today Tina had a practice run over the course from the General Post Office Tower London (from where the competitors will start) to London Airport, and she seen here leaving the Tower for the dummy rin. She is driven to the airport in a chauffeur driven limosine.
The Great Race celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first non stop crossing of the Atlantic by Alcock and Brown.
