1934 The third-last aircraft to complete the MacRobertson International Air Races was the Miles Falcon G-ACTM, race number 31, flown by Harold Leslie Brook accompanied by a fare-paying passenger, Miss E. Lay, which arrived in Melbourne on 20 November 1934. Brook was not classified with a placing in either category of the race. Miss Lay had relatives living in Melbourne, and the contract for her passage influenced Brook to press on during the race in the face of the many misfortunes that befell them along their journey.
