Is "a problem which may have influenced Guinness's to replace it with another aeroplane" in the source, or is it your speculation? If the latter, it seems reasonable, but I would still take it out—it's still implied by the preceding clause, "the Solent's hull had a restricted height and passengers were unable to stand up fully once inside". --

Any word on how much the plane was used? From the sounds of it only a few times, but perhaps it actually flew frequently during its four-month lifespan? Were all of its flights part of the journey to Egypt?
Amitchell125, this is a nice article, but it feels a bit on the short side. Are there any more sources with additional details you could add? A quick search on newspapers.com turned up several that look promising:

Many thanks
Usernameunique for your review, and the helpful links to the newspaper cuttings), many of which are now incorporated into the article. (I couldn't use the image, as it overlapped another one). They have inspired me to search more details out, and I am finding them. I'll let you know when I think I found them all.
