Vintage newspaper clipping about first horse transported by air from UK to Salisbury by F.A. Laker

A yellowed newspaper clipping with tape damage describing the first racehorse to be flown from Britain to Salisbury (likely Rhodesia/Zimbabwe). The article mentions Mr. F. A. Laker as the airline owner who transported the two-year-old gelding 'On The Beach' for British United Airways General Manager M. Stuart Shaw. This represents an early example of Freddie Laker's aviation ventures before founding Laker Airways.
