The Empire flying-boat Caledonia is being prepared at Southampton for her first

The Empire flying-boat " Caledonia" is being prepared at Southampton for her first transatlantic experimental flight which is expected to start within the next few days. The giant machine will fly from Southampton to Rynanna [Rineanna, now Shannon Airport], Irish Free State, and there takeoff for America. Mechanics are making the final overhaul of " Caledonia s" mighty engines before she left Southampton for Ireland.
