RAF fighter meets KLM DC-2
When the KLM DC-2 Uiver flew in to RAF Mildenhall for the start of the October 1934 England-Australia air race, it was met by an RAF fighter.

I read an account of this flight years ago (I believe written by the fighter pilot) but do not know recall where it appeared.

Does anyone know of a source for description of the in-flight meeting of the KLM DC-2 and an RAF fighter?

Thanks
David Isby
