*Canada. A collection of paperwork relating to Brackley's time in Canada . Spring 1919 saw the demobilization of thousands of young men. The new science of aviation was now taking a new slant away from the destruction of the Great War to an age of pioneers and development. Brackley seized the opportunity for this innovative period. In 1919 The Handley Page V/1500 aircraft 'Atlantic' was shipped in multiple crates from Liverpool to Newfoundland, in a bid to attempt the first non-stop Transatlantic flight. The team comprised Major Brackley, Admiral Mark Kerr, and the other pilot, Major Gran, R.A.F., the well-known Antarctic explorer, who was to act as navigator (BM p40). Unfortunately the prize was won by Alcock and Brown in a Vickers Vimy in June 1919. The crew of Atlantic headed for New York but on 5th July 1919 problems developed with the starboard engine which eventually brought the aircraft down in a field in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Repairs to the Atlantic took most of the, on 9th October 1919 the crew reached New York. The progression of the flight is well documented and the lot comprises 46 black and white photographs, the shipping Atlantic in multiple crates on the ship with which she was transported from Liverpool, the construction in the Newfoundland, the crash at Parrsboro and the arrival in New York, there are also a large number of original newspaper cuttings, letters of congratulations from the Secretary of the King of Belgium and dated 26.10.1919 (BM p66 refer) and another from Hilda Dennis 12.10.1919 (BM p67), Hilda was the wife of Mr W.H. Dennis, the General Manager of the Halifax Herald and the Evening Mail who was a passenger on the day the Atlantic completed its flight. The lot also includes Brackley's Passport; inscribed to 'Major H.G. Brackley, D.S.O., D.S.C.' various stamps include American, Japanese, Belgium stamps, with a wonderful black and white photograph of Brackley wearing a flying helmet. (-)

The RNAS contracted 20 type B's. The French Aeronautuique Maritime and Italian Navy also ordered Type B's in 1915.
