21 сентября 1934г. сэр Алан Кобхэм предпринял попытку безостановочного перелета из Англии в Индию на самолете Airspeed AS.5 Courier C-ABXN. Над Портсмутом и Мальтой сэр Алан планировал дозаправку в воздухе от собственных самолетов Handley Page W.10, а над Абукиром и Басрой - от самолетов ВВС Великобритании. Прием топлива был благополучно выполнен над Сельси-Билл (Сассекс) и над Мальтой, но поломка тяги управления двигателем заставила летчика выполнить вынужденную посадку на Мальте. Попытка беспосадочного перелета потерпела неудачу.
