ALEX HENSHAW enjoyed a world wide reputation as a successful air racing and record breaking pilot in the 1930s, and apart from winning the 1938 King's Cup race, his most famous flight was from England to Capetown and back in the same Mew Gull in 1939, setting a record which is still unbroken. During WW II he was chief production test pilot at Vickers' Castle Bromwich factory, flight testing hundreds of Spitfire and Lancaster aircraft.
