Mollison Plane Fails In Take Off - The New Plane "Seafarer", built in Canada for the Mollisons, as it tried to take off from Wasaga Beach, near Toronto, Canada, Oct. 3, with the flying Britons in an attempt to make a 6,000-mile non-stop flight to Baghdad, Iraq. But the heavy load of gasoline and Equipment was too much, and the plane only rose from the beach momentarily. It bounced back with such an impact that minor damage was caused, so the takeoff had to be postponed for a few days to make repairs. April 10, 1933. (Photo by Associated Press Photo).
