On This Day
Saturday 9th July 1927
94 years ago

The Hon Mrs Victor Bruce accompanied by her husband plus a journalist and an engineer departed from London driving an AC Six car (PF6465) borrowed from Selwyn Edge. They drove through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and finally planted a Union Jack flag about 250 miles (400 km) north of the Arctic Circle. It was farther north than anyone had previously driven, a record that remained unbroken until the 21st century.‪
