27 September - Henne Raises the Bar Again

Ernst Henne raised the flying kilometre record yet again in 1935, hurtling along the Frankfurt Autobahn on his blown 750cc BMW at 159.10mph. This was the sixth time since 1929 Henne broken the record. On three occasions, his own.

Ernst was having a good year - he was also part of the German team that won the International Six Day Trials (ISDT).
