Having completed this journey the aircraft remained at Singapore and the Flight was redesignated No. 205 Squadron RAF, the first RAF unit to be permanently based there. == Background and Objectives == During the 1920s the RAF carried out a number of long-distance flights to explore air-routes and facilities and test the feasibility of long-range reinforcement of more distant parts of the British Empire.〔(Per Ardua Ad Astra: Part One ), Air Commodore Graham Pitchfork, "Empire and pioneering flights", retrieved 2 December 2013〕 The RAF's first international long-range cruise by flying boats was to Egypt in July 1926.〔(R.A.F Flying Boats Return ), ''The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942)'', 2 August 1926, Page 9, retrieved 2 December 2013]〕 The success of that trip paved the way for subsequent longer journeys and the Far East Flight was formed to undertake a journey to Australia and the Far East starting in 1927. The project’s publicised aims were to gain experience with the operation of flying boats independent of surface vessels and shore bases, gather information the suitability of locations along the route for flying boats, and to ‘fly the flag’; fostering cooperation between Britain and her Empire.〔''Flight'' Vol.XXI No.10, p197 (The Cruise of the R.A.F. Far East Flight ), retrieved 2 December 2013〕 The Flight covered approximately 23000 miles (37000 km) from Felixstowe to Singapore, around Australia and back to Singapore between 17 October 1927 and 18 September 1928. A further 4500 miles (7241 km) were flown on the final leg, a return trip from Singapore to Hong Kong in November and December 1928. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RAF Far East Flight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
