Leaving Croydon, London, on 15th June, simultaneously with the departure of the Flying Scotsman from King's Cross Station, the air liner, City of Glasgow, made a flight to Edinburgh. The flying party arrived in Edinburgh a couple of minutes after the train which steamed in ten minutes ahead of time.

The view shows the train on the Royal Border Bridge, Berwick, and the air liner above it.
