A hundred years ago, today : arrival of the first 4-engined aircraft into present-day India.
The Handley Page V/1500 "Old Carthusian" arrived at Delhi at 3:30pm, on 16th January 1919. It was also the first ever 'through-flight' from England to India. The aircraft arrived in Karachi the previous day; but today marks the centenary of 4-engined aviation in present-day India.....
