After smashing all records by flying the 10,000 miles from Tokyo to London in well under 100 hours, the Japanese airmen Masaaki Iinuma and Kenji Tsukakoshi, landed Croydon in their plane Divine Wind [Mitsubishi Ki-15 Karigane aircraft, name: Kamikaze, registration J-BAAI]. The flyers have brought Coronation greetings from Japan.
